Wendy: Very pretty afghan! WTG!

Wendy~ love the ATW...great inspiration to get the last of mine done. Only one and half rounds of my border left. Are you going to put a border on yours?

 

Hope everyone had a Great Christmas and got everything they wanted!

[Aussie]

Thanks everyone. Im certainly glad its finished.

 

Brenda I wasnt going to put a border on it. How would you do it going around the squares.

[goofy]

I just did a dc in each dc and then at the corners did the same as in the squares. On the inner corners (bottom of the v) I skipped two to leave a space similar to the squares. But I do believe someone else just did a sc in each sc around. It also looks nice w/o a boarder though.

[Aussie]

Great job Brenda on finishing yours.

 

Im still not sure whether to do a border or not. Have you got a pic of yours showing the border.

[goofy]

Yea!!! I finally totally finished my ATW!!! I will post pics in the morning. I gave it to my god-daughter tonight and she loved it! that was need to see her cuddle up in it.

[JulieKay]

Just thought I'd bump this back up to the top -- waiting for a photo here yet from Brenda .

 

I know a few of you out there are still floating around working on your quilt-ghans.

 

I still have visions of Prairie Stars floating in my head and ONE OF THESE DAYS I'm actually gonna have a real one made with my own 2 hands. I always stall out when I come to the white part-- gonna try using a different color than white that may not be quite as mind-numbing .

Anyhow, I wanted to bump this up in case we still have some interested parties out there .

 

[Aussie]

Hey Julie, are you still doing the 9 patch or has that been put aside for now.

 

You will get that PS done eventually. Maybe if you used cream instead of white.

[JulieKay]

Hey Wendy

Well, the 9 patch for the time being has hit the dust . I guess I have to put them all in order of what I want to do the most and that prairie star has been dangling around in my brain for as long as I first saw the pattern .

The 9 patch is somewhere down on the list . My list keeps growing, though, which doesn't help !

Are you still doing yours ?

[QueenOfCrochet]

I will be starting my 2nd Prairie Star some time this week so i'll be back in here regularly. I hope some people will join me. Hint, Hint....*clears throat, Julie*

[sewnsew]

Could I still join in on this? I just started an Ohio Star Crochet Quilt. I see that Tabitha is starting a new one too. My goal is to have mine done around the beginning of May as it's for my MIL and she will be visiting around that time.

[thery4]

I have about 20 squares to finish my attic windows, hopefully within a week! Then just to put it together...lol...the fun part! I will post pics when finally done!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Donna~Welcome! Sure would love to have ya join. You can keep me company. The Ohio Star is a beauty, have you gotten far?

Theresa~ Good Luck! Can't wait to see pics.

[JulieKay]

Welcome, Donna ~

Of course, we'd love to have you join in. Have you started on yours yet and if so, what colors ?

 

Theresa- it sounds like you are about to cross the finish line ! Good for you ~

 

Tabby- yea, I get the hint ..... I may just have to BITE THE BULLET and do it this time . I REALLY want to make one of these ---

I have changed colors so many times, I am out of combinations. Maybe I should just close my eyes and pick yarn off the shelf and toss it in the cart. Whatever gets thrown in is what colors I'll be using .

[QueenOfCrochet]

Julie~I thought you were happy with your last color combo? I thought all of your combos were gorgeous. Pick one & finish it, this way you're already partially done.

[JulieKay]

Tabby

Have you ever known anyone that changed their mind so much as I do ? It's like a HOBBY at this point .

 

I wish our doggone walmart would get on the stick and get new yarn in. It's about down to STUBS now . They have like 87,000 balls of Fun Fur ( which I never see anyone buy ) and about 7 skeins of assorted other colors.

 

Maybe I should go for broke and go to the yarn shop the next town over. If I buy from her, I'll HAVE to finish it. Her yarn is WAY more than I spend on yarn. I go for the good old Red Heart most all the time .
