An Afghan in the Works Needs a Name

 The above afghan is in the works.  It was named Pastel Garden (see below in it's original designed stage).  I think it needs a new name, as it no longer looks pastel to me.  Tristi K started working on this for us,  and had the vision of bordering and joining in the dark green.  I like it, it pops...but needs a new name.  I've got it laid out and have picked up where she left off.  My thoughts for names as I stare as it are: Green Garden, Green Valley, and or Green Pastures.  What do you all think?  I don't want to re-use a name we've used before, so checked the files of those completed, as well as those waiting in the wings.  I'm sorta leaning Green Valley...as I see flowers in fields of green?

    I like the name Green Valley. I would try to see if the flower that looks raised on my right, 4th one down would look good in the middle. Hope to see the finished afghan soon.

      I like the suggestion of that flower in the middle. Currently 30 squares, 5 rows by 6 so there really isn't a middle, but...I played with squares, took some away that I thought added less and got the flower in the middle. Thanks Sue! Stay tuned in a day or so for an updated post and picture.

    Thanks for letting me know you are putting the flower in the middle. I don't know anything about putting squares together, but just thought since there was only 1 of the flower squares, it might look nice in the middle.
