Ok, I aksed you if the first throw would be nice for mom, now I finished hte one I made for me, and I'm nnot sure which is better for mom. I like both, so I'll defer to PT as to which one is better for mom.

Here they are side by side. "Fiesta" is the brighter one with jewel tones, "Prairie" is the duller one with deep blues and brick reds.

The "Fiesta" (thats the color's name per the manufacturer) with my Christmas pillow, lamp, etc.

And since I don't need to start a new thread with Cameron's stocking, here it is. Just in case you wondered why its such icky colors, he's REALLY into camo and the military right now

FYI: mom's house is rather neutral. mom isn't one for bright colors. Her sofa iss hunter green with red and gold dots. One chair is burgundy, the other is gold. Pale gold walls and hideously ugly tan carpet :p

I voted for Prairie for your mom. It sounds like it would go with her decor a little better.

I really like the Prairie one, the deep rich tones. I'd go with one. The Fiesta one can still come to me!:p

Since the fiesta looks great in your home, I voted for the prairie for you mom's home.:)

I am undecided simply because I think they are both equally lovely.. Love the stocking too, especially the colors!

Great - I knew I could count on you guys!

Now I need to wash it because mom is highly allergic to cats. Considering they were extremely helpful throughout the process, Mom would appreciate not blowing up like a puffy ballooon. :D

Oh, and I had the Fiesta one at work to show my coworkers, and a customer was looking at it to buy!!! :)

I loved them both. Would you consider making one and selling it to me? I think they are awesome, I would love to have one. Please let me know. I am serious. I saw the cat pic in cat general yesterday and loved it, didn't realize it was handmade until I saw this thread. Great job!
