Didn't I just put these away last week??

Unbelievably, it really is time for winter woollens - no where more so than on our beds! 

It just seems like yesterday I was washing them and shoving placing them gently in the wardrobe ready for winter... already they are on our beds and inducing such heavenly, cozy, snuggly sleeeeeep; I could quite happily bed in for the next two seasons...

I'm forever keeping my eye open for vintage woollen blankets - I am lucky enough, alhamdulillah, to have scored two more on a hit-n-run thrift adventure this week  masha'allah! And I think I have a project for one of them that involves surgery - some serious cutting and stitching - but it happens to be a Witney blanket and even though it isn't a points blanket (can you find them in England??) I have still fallen rather in love with it. What to do? Cut or not to cut?
