Notes:
I loved the variegated yarn, and wanted desperately to use it.

However, when I looked at the colors that went with it, absolutely nothing came to mind.

I finally decided on intersecting diagonals. It's a bit pointillistic in that if you look closely, you'll see that the blanket seems to be composed of 15 four-patch blocks, each with one square of each color. When they're assembled, every other square is inverted. And that creates the intersecting diagonals pattern.

But if you're looking for real information on pointillism? Sorry, wrong webpage!
