"the poor didn't want these" final in post 79

[jeannej]

....Just want to let you know that I am on the last round of the border...

 

Oooh, can't wait! Looking forward to seeing your bordered beauty, Darski!

[texasredhead]

I love it just as it is!!! Maybe someone in a nursing home would love to have this bright and cheery afghan!!! Great work!!

[eurolyons]

I think it's fine...to me it's very 60's/70's and for some, that's still insanely cool. Yeah, others might find it garish...so what? Donate it, some one will like it...believe me.

 

You did a GREAT job on it and I'd edge it in white...

[darski]

Here it is folks. I rather like it now that it has borders. it is still very bright (even garish) but it will sure keep someone warm... that last border row just about melted me getting it done.

 

 

 

I will send this along to my cousin who has access to patients who love these.

 

Thank you all for encouraging me to continue. it was well worth the use of my white yarn.

Fabulous work, Darski.

The border really "makes it" !

Someone will be very lucky to receive your blanket.

[Miss Crochet]

Wowee! Someone's going to looooove this!

[jeannej]

Brava, Darski! Just as I imagined, your multicolor border tames those wild and lovely marigolds. I like that you ruffled it too, lending some depth and diversion. Great job!

[losingmymind2]

Darski, that is absolutely beautiful and I know someone is going to love it.

[tnkycrochetnut]

I liked it before the border. But now its absolutely drop dead gorgeous. The multicolor border really sets it off. Ohhhh, someone is going to be very lucky when they receive it.

[darski]

Thank you all for your kind words. This was a challenge project but it sure did make it worth all the angst.

[dobermama]

Darski, that came out absolutely beautiful! You do such wonderful work.

[imanurse55]

All I can say is stunning!

I ran across the original post and then clicked to see it finished and it's just stunning! I LOVE it although I do love bright colors. But you did a great job and whoever gets it is very lucky!

[catlyn]

It really is a beautiful afghan, but the colors are just not mine.

Some people might like those colors but if it were given to me, even tho the pattern is gorgeous, I'm afraid it would be hidden away in a closet.

I'm more into earthy and country colors, quite a bit more subdued.

But it is still a very beautiful afghan and I like it even more after you put the border on it.

But, personally, I wouldn't be able to use it.

The border really sets it off!! Well done. DH is in cardiac rehab but on the floor with brain injured patients. Believe me, they could use something bright and cheery. Good for you for donating to a cause.
