Awesome pattern beautiful afghan, Using a different pattern { blocks were used for stars, alternating clusters of 3DC's were used for stripes all sewn together } I made my nephew a gorgeous afghan. My mother was a little jealous I used the left over skeins to make her a gorgeous mile a minute. But she wanted the flag lol
This is beautiful! Even as a Canadian I can admire it. I am a crocheter and understand the amount of work you have put into this. Congratulations on a job well done.

That is absolutely gorgeous! But, more work than I'm willing to put into a project, even tho I'm an avid crocheter. Kudoes to you for working so hard to produce it. Thanks for sharing and God bless you.
