Sneak Preview : Christmas Blanket

I thought you might want a sneaky peek at the Christmas throw I'm making using Edie Eckman's circle motif #27 from her "Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs" book.

The throw is almost finished! Check back for details of contruction, materials used and on how I made the border.
Previously I've posted about how to make the circle motif work for an afghan and how to square it off. You can find details of how to do this in the following post:
