I had some leftover pink and purple from other projects, not enough to just toss aside, and all of the same weight. Made alternating stripes with the two yarns, and bordered the whole thing with some fancier yarn that I had a fair amount of (I think I bought it thinking I would make something big, I used to have several skeins, but it ended up just supporting other projects). This picture makes the blanket look big, it's actually only about 4 ft x 2.5 ft (roughly).
