I’ve never made a Mandala blanket but these don’t appear to be too intimidating. The Wheel of Fortune Blanket is really appealing. You’re really tempting me! 😉
I love that the afghans are all so different from one another! It makes it feel like you’re getting a lot for your money.
I love afghans and these mandala’s are stunning !!
Great looking patterns, thanks for the review!
Mandalas are on my to do list.
