I think it's going to be very pretty.

I Finished This Afghan Tonight

 I Finished This Afghan Tonight

Intermediate Level

This one took longer to make than my prior projects.

I had a migraine today, it took up my whole day until tonight.

In spite of it, I was able to get up and finish my afghan.

I'm very happy with how it looks.  It's pretty big.

I can go on to my next project now.  Christmas will soon be here.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this one yet.

I'll let you know what I decide.  

 

I Have All The Pieces Sewn Together - Almost Done

 

I Have All The Pieces Sewn Together

I'm so happy I'm nearing the finish line on this afghan.

I had to sew together each piece.  Now I have to hide all the strings. 

This may take a couple of days.  This afghan has taken me the longest time to make.

It is 54" wide and 63" long.  42 octagons 6X7

I'm happy with how it looks. 

Funny thing when I was making it I counted it over and over to see how far along I was.

I made 42 octagons.  I counted it several times.  I even had an extra one I did not complete because I had enough.  When I put it together I was missing one.  I don't know where it went.  I was happy though because I found the one I didn't finish and finished it.   I didn't come up short after all.  

It's not laying all out flat in this picture.  It's pretty big.

I'll show you the whole afghan once it is fully completed.  Almost done with this one. Yay!

White Scattered Hearts Appliques Sewn On

If you are making the loop fringe don't forget to 

leave at least  4-5 inch stings to weave in 

so that your fringe does not unravel.
