Have joined most of the squares (I made 40) and see that I will need quite a few more (actually I think I may need at least another 40). The size here is 28 inches and I'm thinking it should be at least 50 plus inches as I would like for it to be able to cover the top of a bed.
Right now I'm not sure about the colors but maybe with colored pillows and bedding it may pop more. But that will remain to be seen for quite a while. The warm weather will now slow down the progress of this. I can get the individual flowers made but sewing together may have to wait. It is certainly a warm, cozy blanket.
When I make the next one I will have the white background which I think I would have liked better although I am pleased that I am able to use yarn and leftovers that I have.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I'm thinking if I figured out the pattern, I would have to start small -- a pillow maybe. I make flowers with leaves and squares to make afghans -- and have done so many in the past -- big ones and baby blankets. But does take time. That's why lately I just stick with simple things -- I need to feel a sense of accomplishment within a week or so, not months. HA! Of course, all those unfinished projects are just staring at me, begging me to complete them. One day! Have a blessed week. Tammy
ReplyDeletekeep going! This is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I like that neutral shade around each colorful flower - really makes you focus on the central motif. As was said above, keep going!
ReplyDeleteThat is very pretty - one day I must try it myself...I've never yet made an afghan where I had to connect so many pieces. I'm kind of impatient that way, but it sure looks beautiful! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE!!!

ReplyDeleteAfter seeing yours this is on my list. I think the colors really play off each other. As my DD use to say when she was little its soooo purty.
ReplyDeletewow - those colours stand out amazingly well
ReplyDeleteIt looks so HAPPY! Makes me want to smile just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for such nice comments. You made me smile.
