I chose to make my blanket 8 x 10 squares, and made 20 each of four different leaf colors, much like a real garden. No two roses are the same. DH helped me figure out the layout, and he did a great job.
Blanket is made primarily with Stylecraft Special DK in lime, sage, bottle, meadow, pale rose, cream, aspen, lobelia, mocha, stone, storm blue, wisteria, lavender, clematis, apricot, silver, duck egg, candyfloss, fondant and parma violet in parchment. I also used Hayfield Baby DK in plum.
Super happy with the final outcome, will be making more Cherry Heart items for sure.... have my second Spice of Life blanket by her on my hook now :-)

Beautiful colors and finish. The border is lovely.
Absolutely beautiful. The border looks so pretty-nice choice.
Wondering if we have lost you to the world of crochet? ��
Love the soft colors and adore the finish! Good going you!
Love, love, love!
Did you order Stylecraft or are you able to get it locally? We don't seem to be able to get it around here and I haven't bitten the bullet to order any yet. It seems like it's lovely to work with!
Beautiful, such gorgeous colours. No wonder you are pleased.
This is gorgeous!!!!! Seeing this, I wish I know how to crochet~
Congratulations on your finish!!
