The geometric detailing of Moroccan tilework inspires many of designer Kristin Omdahl’s motifs, including the one used in this blanket. The center of the motif is quite simple, and the spade-shaped corners line up beautifully with the adjacent motifs to suggest a different motif altogether. As an added bonus, the blanket requires no edging because the motifs naturally display a pretty scalloped detail.
