Blanket Project is a go!

I've been wanting to make a blanket for quite some time now. I'm love making tie blankets. I guess you could call it an obsession. But, I think the only reason I like making them is because it involves no sewing machine, whatsoever! So, today I went to Joann's with my mom and picked out some really cute fabric. The only thing is that my fabric isn't exactly fabric that you use for a tie blanket, so I'm actually going to dig out the old sewing machine that's been hibernating in our cabinet for quite some years now. Yes, yes. Feel free to applaud. I'm going to go start pinning it together and when it's all finished I'll take pictures and post them on here! If i still have fingers left....
