Purple Iris Afghan Designed

I think we have about 3 sizes with this collection of squares.  Some of you may know I recently finished an Afghan called Iris and Lillies that was Purple and Yellow.  Soooo, this isn't a repeat, but purple always makes me this of Iris, the big double ones.  I have many in my back yard, though it's too early for them to be blooming yet.  The Rhizomes came from my folks back yard, so ....I love purple Iris.  The green represents the leaf.  Not sure what color I'm leaning towards to edge and join...maybe light purple...pretty sure I don't have any of that green in my stash.

Do you recognize any of your squares in this design?  Have you scrolled back over the last week and half to see if you can find your squares?  I've been designing, naming and lining things up for assembly.  I really need to see how many I have before how long it will be to accept more squares. 

And when I started dumping and dividing and pondering over these squares, it's not because all  my previously designed ghan were done; but...it's hard to know what you have until you go through this process.

Sand Afghan Designed to be Donated

This photo is a bit washed out, it's not bright; but has a bit more color then you see in the photo.  These squares are almost all the same size so edging shouldn't be an involved procedure.  I really puzzled over naming this afghan.  I thought sandy...thinking beach, I though cool sand because it was darker then just tan with some green, then thought for simplicity sake, maybe just Sand would work?  It's not green enough or bright enough to be grass, let me know if you have some thoughts.

Bright Desert Afghan Design



The desert is both bright a muted, depending on the light and the time of the day.  You have blue for the sky, oranges, purples and tans for the rocks.  Because this is bright, ...Bright Desert?  But open to suggestions, so if you have them sing out, please and thanks.  These squares vary a bit in size, not badly, the oranges and tans are the same, and blues and purples a 2nd size.  Probably will edged and join in tan...or maybe a real light lavender?

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?
