Awesome Daughter Blanket: Purple Love Quotes Throw

Awesome Daughter Blanket shows a patchwork of purple and gray tiles, each carrying a line written for a daughter, and the center square reads “My Daughter is pretty awesome” above a small crown. The printed words are soft and proud at once, and the crown turns the whole print into a little celebration. It was made for the mom, dad or grandparent who wants to say something tender without a long speech.

The design in detail

The blanket is built from a grid of square tiles framed by a black and white border with geometric patterns in purple. The largest tile sits in the middle, with the cursive words “My Daughter is pretty awesome” running across a faint purple background and a silver crown resting above the lettering. Smaller tiles surround it, each set in a different typeface, so the eye moves from one saying to the next. Some tiles read “Never Forget how much I love you” and “you'll ALWAYS be my baby girl,” while others say “Be your own kind of BEAUTIFUL” and “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.” A bouquet of flowers and a sunflower add soft color, and a tile with a bow reads “Live Laugh Love.” The square with the dictionary-style definition of daughter is the joke of the print, playing on the familiar tug between love and exasperation. Together the tiles tell one long story of pride, comfort and encouragement, all in the same purple palette.

When it gets used

You will see this blanket draped over the arm of a couch, pulled up on a sofa during a movie night, or folded at the foot of a bed where a daughter sleeps. Teenagers who roll their eyes at sentiment often soften when they spot the “emotionally unstable dictator” square and laugh at it. Adult daughters tend to read the tiles slowly, pausing at the lines about carrying you in your heart. It suits a college dorm, a first apartment, or the chair in a parent's living room where the family gathers. Anyone who has ever said “you are my sunshine” to a child will recognize the warmth in these tiles.

Good occasions

The blanket is a natural pick for a daughter's birthday, a graduation, a wedding morning or the week she moves into her first place. It also works as a quiet thank-you to a daughter who has been the steady one through a hard year. You can choose the fleece throw for everyday snuggling or the sherpa throw for cold evenings on the couch. Wrap it with a handwritten card and let the printed words do the talking.
