Your blankets are all looking quite spectacular and I know a lot of you are eagerly awaiting the edging! I have provided two slightly different edgings for you to choose from - one a straight lacy edge (Edging A) and the and the other a delicate ruffle (Edging B). (Note: Edging B is a very time consuming, yarn hungry edging.)
