I never posted much on the other site but I really like how this turned out so…
For Christmas, I gave my husband his father’s day present. I started it in May. I have no effing clue why I thought 5 weeks of working in the evening after I put my kid to bed would be enough…? Anyway.
It’s loosely based on the Smorgasbord Afghan pattern on Ravelry, in that it’s fabric as well as yarn, but I deviated from there. I was going to just have the big tshirt blocks, but then spoonflower had a sale so I got some fabric photos and then I thought, “why not try blackwork?” And then I thought, “why not try applique?” And then I thought quilt blocks might be nice. And might as well add batting. And on and on…
And so 7 months later…
Here it is in all its frustrating glory, lol.
The combination of techniques and crochet in a functional object is really delightful. I’m so happy you stuck with it, and decided to post here!
Bravo, for sure!!

I’ve never seen yarn and fabric in a blanket like that. It’s a cool technique. I bet your husband loved it!
I’ve never seen anything like that before either, how cool!
I love the combination of techniques and all of the amazing little details the fabric brings to the yarn.
This is amazing! I love how much you have put into this while it looks cohesive and it lays so flat. Inspiring work!
This is so unusual. All that eye candy! I don’t know where to look!
I started it because he had 3 ratty tshirts he adored that were not going to survive if he kept wearing them. And once I cut those into pieces, I felt like failure was not an option! 
What a cool project. Functional, multi crafted, and sentimental. This is amazing!!!
At the very least, he says he does, Haha. I’m afraid I gave up working on it in secret though, so his present was not much of a surprise.
I don’t think I’ll do something of this scale again that combines fabric and crochet. So. Much. Blanket. Stitch. My hands are hurting thinking about it.
Holy smokes, that is a big undertaking. I think it’s kind of hilarious that you kept adding new techniques to it; seems like something I would do. The result is amazing!
Wow, that is an epic project!! Amazing 
I love when 2 art forms crash together. This is awesome sauce!
A labour of love, that’s for sure! All those different techniques, oh wow! 
This rocks!
It’s looking amazing, so many different skills used. And yes, time, I’ve failed on that part myself, but at least you finished it and it looks amazing
I love every inch of this!
Amazing! You put so much love and thought into making this…well done you!
Nice! Great courage and tenacity!!!
Love this; it’s a new take on patchwork & piecing! 
Do you have more detail pictures??
There’s so much love in that blanket! What a treasure!
