No-Sew Color Block Summer Throw Blanket

by Jackie Hernandez on April 30, 2014 2,172 Comments

Hello, Jackie here from Teal & Lime.

One thing I have learned in my first 10 years of marriage is we will never agree on the ideal temperature for a room. He always likes it about 10 degrees colder than me…year round. Can you relate?

In the winter, I cuddle up with my faux fur throw blankets. I have baskets and bins in every room to hold throws.  The only downside I see to spring is putting my thick, cozy throw blankets away.

Now with the ceiling fan constantly whirring overhead until late fall, I still get the chills. Remember, my hubby likes it 10 degrees cooler? He also likes a breeze. The cool splash of moving air against my skin gives me goosebumps, even in the warmer months.

This spring I am swapping out my favorite winter throws with some colorful, lightweight throw blankets. They are just thick enough to keep away goosebumps.

And with his obsession comes my vast knowledge of the sound of a LEGO being sucked into the vacuum cleaner or the feel of a 2×4 brick underfoot in the middle of the night.  I know the rest of you parents with LEGO obsessed kids can relate.

A few summers ago, I took the kids – by myself – on a 2 week road trip across the southern part of the country.  It was a moment of insanity, but we all survived.  Along our adventure, we picked up a LEGO magnet (like this one) from LegoLand in Florida.  It sparked an idea in my mind to get some of Zack’s beloved Minifigures off of the floor.
