Your Blooming Joy design is incredible! I am a very experienced crocheter and I’ve made many, Fan many blankets of varying degrees of difficulty. This blanket while it is not difficult at all is very intense in the stitches that you designed. It is heirloom quality. I want to actually frame it and put it on the wall, but I will not do that, lol, you are an excellent designer!
