This blanket is so beautiful, and I honestly cannot believe how easy the pattern is! This would be a fabulous gift for a color-loving pre-teen or teenager.

Yes! I was thinking that very thing. Very suitable for a baby shower gift, but my preteen niece would also totally love this! I mean, rainbows. Am I right?
