I love love LOVE this blanket. I've been slowly kind of working on one myself with scrap yarn. I'm in love with the show Roseanne...it was always on when I pulled all-nighters in college, so I ended up buying all 9 seasons of it. Anyway, they have a blanket like that on their couch that I've been trying to copycat, and this is kind of like it (except yours is much prettier...theirs is more scrap-yarn looking and doesn't match as well).
Great job!
I've always wanted to do a granny square blanket for the same reason!!! I've got various square all over my house... one day I'll have enough for a blanket.... One day...
