I already have so many really good throw and afghan patterns that I am always amazed at how these clever designers still come up with fabulous new patterns like this one! Ours is going to be made quite a bit bigger (just because that is how we like them) but I do not foresee any other changes to the pattern or to the colors. It is quite gorgeous and we are going to love snuggling under it on the sofa in the coming winter!
