Times like these we wish we were a bit more patient and a lot more nimble with the needle.

Yeah, I agree. That is a blanket you have to be DEDICATED to with a cost like that.

$312.50 blanket... definitely a project you'd have to finish :P

do you think this would work in another fabric? (allergic to wool!).

While cute, if you sew as shown your blanket will not stand up to very much wear and tear at all. Do a nice finished seam and use a backing and binding if you want something that could survive a trip through the wash.

Anyone who would even think of washing this beautiful blanket is CRAZY. It's art, an heirloom. I agree with the original blog - it is one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen.

ramonathepest, if you intend to use it as a piece of art, you probably shouldn't call it a blanket and put it on a bed. I would hardly call it an "heirloom" if it's sewn together so poorly that the stitches would pull through the felt at the slightest tug.
