This is part 9 of the 50 state blanket. Part 9 consists of the states of Oklahoma to South Carolina. I was surprised at how well Rhode Island turned out. One thing I like about these patterns is how much detail there is for even the smallest states. Since each block is the same size, each state is well represented.
This is part 8 of the 50 state blanket. Part 8 consists of the states of New Mexico to Ohio. So my husband and I are trying to get caught up on the latest season of Better Call Saul which is only fitting since this post contains New Mexico. My husband also attended the University of Cincinnati so he thought it was fitting to make the state of Ohio using black and red.
This is part 7 of the 50 state blanket. Part 7 consists of the states of Montana to New Jersey. The group contained some of the bigger states widthwise. Montana and Nebraska both went almost all the way across the block!
So I am at the point of my life where it seems like everyone I know is having a baby. This is a great thing because my favorite thing to make is baby blankets! Baby blankets have always been one of my favorite projects. I love how they typically have a pattern that repeats, but they are also fairly quick projects because they aren’t as big as an afghan or throw. I also love that I can typically use a lot of bright and fun colors!
This part contains the states of Massachusetts to Missouri. It is so hard to believe that after this post we will be halfway through the 50 states. I was very excited for the particular part because I am from Missouri and I have made a couple of Missouri throw pillows for myself and for silent auction items for my mom. I am also pleasantly surprised how will Massachusetts turned out because it is such an unique shaped state.
This is part 5 of the 50 state blanket. Part 5 consists of the states of Kansas to Maryland. Maryland was one of the states that I was worried wouldn’t really look like the state, but you can really see the details in the pattern. Kentucky is one of my favorite color combinations.
This is part 4 of the 50 state blanket. Part 4 contains the instructions for the states of Hawaii to Iowa. I love my Hawaii block because I made an inverted sunset. The background was different shades of orange while the Hawaii islands were ocean blue. I also was a huge fan of how the state of Idaho turned out.
This is part 3 of the 50 States Blanket. Please see Part 1 for information regarding materials needed and Part 2 for Alabama to California.
This post is for the states from Colorado to Georgia. I love how my Florida turned out! I used colors that kind of reminded me of Miami Vice.
This is the first 5 states for the 50 state blanket. I decided to make my blanket in alphabetical order, that way I didn’t miss a state. So the first five states are Alabama to California.
itially made a few throw pillows for some silent auctions and orders, but I really only tested the states of Ohio, Missouri, and Louisana. So when I was furloughed from my job in 2020 due to the pandemic, I got bored and decided to try every state chart.
