After 6 months of squares, I have finished my Country Blues afghan!! Yesterday I spent most of the day putting the blocks together and sewing in ends (If you look closely, there are still a few that need to be sewn in, oops). I'm so thrilled to be done with it-- now I just need to figure out who to gift it to!
Finishing this project has helped me get one step closer to my goal of a tidier room. The squares were all piled in a bag, just taking up space. Now they are a lovely blanket!
Linking up with Tami's Amis for FO Friday!
Way to go Mary! Your blanket it really beautiful. All of the colors look perfect together. It must feel great to finally have it done! As much as I love motifs and grannys I DESPISE sewing them together! Next time I'm going to try attaching them as I make them - maybe that will work?
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! You did a wonderful job on every part of it: Color selection, hooking, color placement. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWow. I really like the size of those squares. They are so beautiful- I'm a really newbie hooker and that third one down from the top on the right? That's like.., once I be able to do that I'll be happy haha. It's lovely and whoever receives it will be very lucky indeed.
ReplyDeleteI'm responding the comment you left on my blog about The Eyre Affaire by Jasper Fforde. I am now rereading Jane Eyre! Then I might listen to the audio book again, just to see the references again. Truly a book for literature lovers.
