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?

Pastel Garden Afghan in the Works Needs a New Name


Here's Pastel Garden in stage One, it's original design.  At some point the upper right square with the Teddy Bear was removed to a more appropriate afghan design and a celery color green square was added to replace it.

Here's Pastel Garden after our friend Tristi started edging some of the squares.  With the dark green, it no longer looks like pastel garden, so believe we're  in need of renaming it.  Tristi has passed this ghan in the works back  to me  for completion.  Anyone have any ideas for a new name?  We'll have time to maul it over, as I have 3 other ghans currently in the works, so unsure when I'll get back to this one.

Green Garden is all I've come up with so far.  Secret Garden?  The book....just popped into my head.

Speak up folks.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
