Ok guys, I finally did it!  I finished my first full sized blanket.  Some may remember that I was looking to make a blanket for my nephew to take to college in the Fall. School colors are scarlet and brown. I used "my first blanket" pattern with Premier Puzzle in "checkers. "  I did the puff stitch border in brown and cream. The sides are a but wavy....considering trying to block them.  I think it came out well enough to give as a gift,  what do you all think?
