Baby Blanket Question

[suziehomemaker]

Has anyone made the "Original Mountain Laurel Crib Counterpane" baby blanket that's on the Free Patterns section of this site? The direct link is below:

It looks absolutely gorgeous and I'm thinking about making it for a family member who's pregnant. I'm wondering about how long it took and if the assembly was difficult. I have a list of projects ahead of this one and I'm hoping I can squeeze it in before the baby is born!

Thanks so much!

wow! that is absolutely gorgeous! and it looks pretty challenging to knit to my eyes but I guess you can do anything if you just give it a try

if you do decide on starting on this blanket: please please keep us updated on the progress.
I just found out the girlfriend of my boyfriends best friend (hmm does that still make sense) is pregnant and I'm wondering if I should make something for her once she's past that tricky 3 month stage....

I'm not that great at piecing stuff together yet. I think I might make all of the sections and either go to my LYS for a quick lesson or beg my mother-in-law for help sometime this summer.
It's just so beautiful I have to try it!
