This Daisy Granny square was designed in July 2009 and I then made into a rug in November 2009...
Lots of cushions and blankets have followed.
There were lots of the daisy motifs left over, l found them the other day......and because l couldn't work on the swing seat cover
I decided to try and finish the 3rd project, almost but not quite finished

ReplyDeleteI saw ablanket similar to your granny squares and how you joined them in a crochet book I bought a few months ago, and your blanket by far is the prettiest. Such eye popping colors. There is so much of yours I want to make for myself that I don't know where to start. ; )
