Designing Afghans from Donated Squares

I'm pretty sure I have an afghan named crayons or box of crayons designed and waiting in the wings, but that's what I thought of while designing this particular afghan.  How boring is it to name this Crayon 2?  This is a mix of sizes and shapes and styles of squares, rectangles, sampler, granny's.  I know I have some of the variegated yarn in my stash, but doubt there's enough to edge and join, might have to get more, as I think....I would like to use it for this ghan?  Thoughts?  Will that be too busy?

As I'm typing this post, color me popped into my head.  How's that for a name?

Help for Homeless with Donations from Georgia

 Thank you Diana K from Georgia for your thoughtful donation.  Looks like Diana has been crocheting even in her sleep with this generous donation.  A checkerboard afghan.  I love these colors together.  Very nice!

 Took several pictures as I was unloading the box.  A ripple style scarf and mound of crocheted cotton washcloths which are always a hit.

 And the final layer in box of donations, another afghan, scarf, and more cotton washcloths, plus a couple of small hats.  Nicely done done Diana.  Everything is so very much appreciated.  Please keep up the good work!

Designing Afghans from Donated Squares, Spring Happiness

If you were wondering if I still had afghan from the latest design craze to show you...here's your answer.  Yes....I do.  Shades of pink and green made me think, Preppy?  Not sure I like that name, so am certainly open to suggestions.  I think sage green would make a nice edge and join choice, but know I've thought of using sage green for another of the designed ghans, so it all just depends when I do them what colors I have.
