Finished Weighted blanket

Here is the finished weighted blanket!

I did mine a little differently than some of the patterns I have seen online.  I used my long arm to make the long channels.  Then my sewing machine to do the cross lines to close each square.  I did 5" spaces, I think if I were to make another one, I would use 6" spaces.

I also triple stitched around the outside, and added binding.  My mother in law definitely has a one of a kind weighted blanket!

My mother in law wanted a weighted blanket, but they are expensive, I told her I would make her one!  So here is about half the rows done.

the kitties of course had to help!

Earl was NOT helping, this is heavy to move through my machine!  I am getting a workout sewing it!
