(I am pretty sure) I began this blanket in April of 2014. I am almost ready to call it finished.
I am currently adding grays for the cloudy skies and the confusion that hang over me. I finished the obnoxiously bright rainbow surrounded by blues for sadness and tears to say good-bye to my brother. He hung himself on 27 March. When my grandmother (mother's side) passed away in December of 2014, I had just begun my
Cosy Stripe (but in rainbow order) and I had seen a lovely rainbow over Monterey Bay, so now I think of rainbows as a way for souls to get to the other side.
My OMG, hosted by Patty of
Elm Street Quilts, is to add more colored stripes so that it feels done... I know I want the sun to break through the gray clouds, and it needs some more purple!
