Followed same shortcuts as with my other OO Blankets.

Used my own half-hexagon motif which uses similar stitches as the center of the motifs, rather than the open work of the motifs from the pattern.
See my 1st blanket for diagram: https://ravel.me/Herself10/oo

This time, did ombre border. Did last row from the back, 6 SC then CH2 picot. Thinking it will resist curling by doing the last row from the back side.

Finished size: 36 x 36
