Blue Bayou Afghan: Panel 4

Panel 4 is completed and the right sashing strip has been added. In addition to the sashing pattern I used between the other panels, I’ve added a 10-stitch cream border. I will duplicate this process in reverse for the left side. I’m sweating it out at the moment as I’m getting rather low on my light blue and the dye lot is an old one. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Once the left side is done, I’ll be using a 22-inch flexible afghan hook to complete the sashing strip and cream border on the top and border. The final round will be the dark blue in either single, double, or half-double crochet to mirror the binding I’ll be using on the quilt. I may also add dark blue fringe on the top and bottom but am still undecided at this point. More illustrations will be coming as I progress.
