Taking a break to work on farm blanket

Since it is so close to Christmas I have decided to take a break from my crochet business and writing free patterns. I am currently taking time to focus on my farm blanket. For those that have no idea what I am talking about I am making a cot sized blanket to enter into the farm show here and writing out the patterns as I go. It is not until February but there is a lot of work to go into it. Here are some pictures to show you the progress.

The patterns are not free but can be found here in my Ravelry Store. Eventually I am hoping to have the whole pattern for sale together but at this stage it is only the appliques.

The ones still to come include:

Farm Truck

Cow

Cat

Crochet Sheep Applique

Farm Blanket - Sheep Block

This it the first block in my farm themed blanket that I am making for the Te Puke A&P show home industries competition. It is currently being tested but the pattern will be available for sale soon. Each block measures 12 1/2 by 11 inches. The sheep measures 9 x 6 1/2 inches. Pattern will be available on Ravelry and Craftsy

Sorry about the turle being so close to the edge, turtles seem to be longer than they are tall :)
