The End of the Summer Blankets

After some delays, I've finally finished seaming and hemming the last of the summer weight blankets I wove last summer.  I wrote about the first two in August.

The second two full-size blankets and the little cradle blanket use a stripe arrangement I found on a blanket in the Textile Museum of Canada.  It was lots of fun to weave, but required some care to make the stripes match when the two widths were seamed together.   I did okay.


The center seam and the hems are sewing with a very sturdy linen singles.
