The Queen Sister's Blanket from Quilting Stories

Here is the progress of my giant granny square blanket, as promised yesterday. As I said in my previous post, I found my inspiration watching the Netflix last season of The Crown series. It was interesting and quite astonishing to see such a blanket in the living room of the sister's queen : a whimsy touch in a classical traditional decor I guess, in accordance with the unconventional personality of the sister's queen.

Now my pillow looks perfect!
