There is something extremely elegant about off-white. It is crazy to think that this color matches pretty much every interior and color combination. It has a sense of peace to it. Very Feng Shui! The pattern is beautiful and could be great for the baby crib, on top of a bed, or for snuggling up on cold days. The honeycomb and bobble pattern blocks are really smart in any home for any occasion as a gift or for yourself!

As we know fall is around the corner and this will be perfect for those nights in and movie nights.

A very charming mitered afghan with minimal work involved. But the end results are terrific. It has a slight vintage look to it and will for sure become your best buddy when the nights are cool.

Will look great as a throw too for the sofa or the bed enhancing the image of it all.
