Wrap Yourself in centuries of Blue Willow Lore Fleece Blanket
These are the greatest blankets, cuddle together in the TV Room, spread it out for picnic blanket, or to watch the fireworks display, or
at the bandstand when everyone gathers on Summer Saturdays -- all with the knowledge that it is machine washable. Also perfect as a bed
spread, or summer weight blanket.
With the Blue Willow blanket you get all of that and years of heirloom tradition. The Blue Willow pattern was popular in 18th century England in porcelain designed by Thomas Minton around 1790 and has been in use for over 200 years. The design was inspired by the china England imported from China during the late 18th century.
The story of the willow pattern was turned into a comic opera in 1901, It was also retold in a 1914 silent film, and Robert van Gulik used some of the idea in his Chinese detective novel. Blue Willow, specifically gold-rimmed pieces was the china of choice at William Randolph Hearst's estate in San Simeon, California, being Hearst's mother's favourite pattern.
Blue Willow China was used on camera to evoke a 19th-century atmosphere in Western movies and television shows, as well as The Munsters, The Andy Griffith Show, and Murder She Wrote evoking the traditional American home.
Odds are just the sight of it will make you or someone you love well up with nostalgia for this heirloom design.

I ordered a blanket for my daughters 40th birthday. I live in the UK and she lives in Australia. The first blanket didn't arrive so Zazzle arranged a special delivery of another one. My daughter received the blanket on her birthday and absolutely loved it. Thank you Zazzle. I haven't seen the product but I'm told everything was good... printing, quality etc

Fleece Blanket, Medium 127 cm x 152.4 cm

The product is printed correctly, but there's white gaps where the fibres are showing the base colour. There's only 1 or 2mm of colour. If I made it again, I'd make it on a black blanket. The reason it's white underneath, is because I forgot to change it back. It was too hard to see the picture alignment wihtout it.
The software is clunky and not intuitive to use. I'm not a graphic designer, so I'm not used to photoshop and the like, so a lot of the settings, although I've seen them on my friend's computer, didn't make much sense to me.
Would I make another? Possibly. This one is for me, but I'm not sure about making it available as a product for my fans. It goes all the way to the edges, but not all the way through the fibres. Goodness help you if you can't match the colour of your background, because it will show through the image.
