Holly Cow, you're saying, how many afghans did that crazed woman (me being the crazed woman) design? I'm not telling you. Let's just say at some point in the multi-day process hubby said these squares going to be a permanent part of the living room? Yes...once I dumped the huge number I had I left them for several days and just kept at it. Designing, photographing, labeling, bagging. And it truly did take a while.
I named this one Pink Persuation, but am open to suggestions if anyone has an idea. I will probably edge and join in off white, unless I have the right shade of pink in my stash when the time comes. Anyone find their squares in this design?
