During high summer, I was able to come home from work at quarter till 9 in the evening and still have time to get the lawn mowed before sundown. Not anymore! Now that I can't do outside chores in "the cool of the evening", I have more time to sit and do handwork. The first baby blanket is finished and the second one is about to double in size to be used for a child's nap blanket. I'm working on a star pattern where you crochet the pieces and sew them together a la quilting style.
In trying to find a star pattern for you, I found a nice five pointed star blanket made all in one piece. See if this might be fun to make and look good on the child of your choice. http://yarn-diva.blogspot.com/2006/03/free-star-shaped-afghan-pattern.html
Here's a six-pointed one all in one piece http://www.meibythepug.com/2009/01/6-point-star-afghan-pattern.html
And finally I found a website with crocheted quilt patterns. Crochet the bits and pieces and sew them together. Very pretty work! http://www.happyyellowhouse.com/htm/quilts.html
Happy crafting.
