I have been working on a beautiful crocheted blanket for quite a while now. It is called Persian Tiles by Jane Crowfoot. I don’t know why I haven’t blogged about it until now. Maybe I am a bit embarrassed by my need to have so many projects going at the same time. Yes, that’s definitely it!
Oh well, here we go on the magic carpet ride:)
I have a vision of crocheting over 100 of these blocks to make a spread for my bed, but with how slow they are going, I doubt if that goal is going to be reached. I started with the initial 16 that the pattern called for. 
The little center circles are so cute and went together so quickly. But hey, they are only about 2″ wide. They better have gone quick!
Next, I added the pineapple base to the circles.
I felt the wheels turning and was sure that this blanket would be done by Christmas.
I am sure you can see where this is going. The next few rounds were getting a bit larger so it took a bit more time, but really no problems.
Aren’t they looking pretty? Yep, back in July I was sure this blanket would be done by Christmas. Then came the petals. Those darn petals!
Here is a picture I took back in July or August.
And here I am FINALLY finishing my 16th block of petals in January!!
I know that I have definitely not only worked on this blanket. In fact, it has sat by my bed patiently waiting as I have appliquéd, embroidered, and crocheted other projects that either needed to get done or just sparked my need for change a bit more than the repetition of this petal stitch.
But the petal stitches are done and I have spent two evenings weaving so many threads that I can’t count them. I am ready for the next few rounds to finish the block. At least they won’t be the start and stop, clip and restart of these dreaded petals!
I don’t know, 100 of these? It might be a 10 year project! Lol:)
Focus Tracy! Focus!
P. S. – Here is a picture of what Janie’s original looks like. Of course I did not take this picture:). Can you see why I just HAD to make one of my own?
It's a T-Sweets day!
