Blue Bayou Afghan »

I’ve been neglecting my crochet section for some time now and decided it was time to get back in the groove with a new afghan. This afghan celebrates my love of quilting with 20 squares, each designed after a popular quilt square. Each square will be 36 by 36 stitches. I’m also making a matching quilt (check out Blue Bayou Quilt in the Diary section of Quilting). The images are posted as each square is completed. This afghan is real-time work in progress. I’m posting each square as I complete it.

As with the first square, I won’t actually be using the border with my project, but still a nice option. I have finished the Ohio Star but still need to take image shot. I’ve
