For those who enjoy the pleasures of the pic-a-nic basket, here’s an idea: the custom made, washable, lightweight blanket. My Mom sent me a bunch of pre-cut fabric squares and asked me to assemble them to fit a backing fabric with a Provencial print. There were so many colors and patterns that a bit of order was imposed by repeating a nine patch block. Happy hiking, Mom – don’t forget the mustard!
