Enjoy this 60" x 80" Sherpa Fleece blanket in your home and out on adventures. The top features a colorful jumble of all 63 National Parks - a patchwork quilt of America's natural wonders. The bottom is plush Sherpa - perfect for your bed, snuggling on the couch, warming up by the fireplace, or relaxing at the campsite. It measures 60" x 80" (that's the same size as a Queen mattress).
My original illustrations depict recognizable features of each park, composed entirely of the letters that spell out each park's name (for example, Everglades is rearranged to become an alligator). Colors are inspired by National Park Service signage.
Machine wash cold, delicate cycle. Tumble dry low or air dry. 100% Polyester with hemmed edges. Blankets ship directly from a production partner.
