Churchmouse received a lot of requests to scale up the Garter Blocks Baby Blanket for grown ups, and the result is the Big Garter Block Throw which is a great addition to your home. It also makes wonderful graduation and wedding gifts. The simplicity of garter stitch lends itself to primitive and modern decors alike. Knitted in strips (with a little seaming later) it's a very portable project.
