I'm Falling For You .......................

[judianne]

Cara, that looks great...I love the colors!

One thought popped in my head: what about WHEAT insted of corn in that section...or...not sure it can even be done...a hatstack or something like that. I was thinking of the seasons' hay rides...

[bgnagy]

Cara - that's awesome - what a great afghan it would make!!!

[Krystal16]

Cara - that design is divine... beautiful job! Even *I* would use it, and I don't usually decorate!

Wendy you're a genious. I never thought about it. We have pony bead banner patterns too. Those would work out perfect for a quilt ghan. Thank you so much for the idea. Now I'm going to look through those.

 

Oh Cara, I love it. Now I really want to make this one. What size did you use for it? Is it the size of a cuddle ghan?

[sewnsew]

Alright ladies. I took one of the ideas from the link Wendy gave us and made up a picture quilt. My question is do you think 28x24 is too big for a picture ghan? If so then I have a bit more tweaking to do.

[judianne]

Donna, I'm not sure about the size...we'll have to wait for Cara to pop in again:)

[Krystal16]

I don't think 22x28 is too big. It will be about 50"x65" if your square is 2 1/4", which I think is the size Cara says it is supposed to be.

Cara~Your fall ghan pattern is just wonderful.

Can't wait to see it.

[sewnsew]

Here it is. What do you think?

[bgnagy]

Very cute and Halloweeny, Donna.

[Misa]

Very cute Donna!!

 

I don't think 22x28 is too big at all

[sewnsew]

Oh man I forgot the eyes on the ghost. I'll have to fix that.

[Misa]

Oh and the one I did is a full size ghan not cuddle size. It's just a little bit bigger than Donna in fact which is normal size of about 50x65

[tahlara]

Donna - look great! I think it will be fine with roughly 2" squares which make it 4' x 4' 8" afghan.

 

Working on the falling leaves graph... I use Microsoft Paint, and use print view to see the full screen as Paint don't have any zoom in beyond 100%

Donna that looks great! Good job!

[sewnsew]

Thanks girls. I might try to make it for Meaghan for her bday. It's oct. 16. I'm not sure if I can get one finished that fast but I thought it would be fitting since it's the same month. lol. We will see. I really want to make Cara's too. lol I think I have all the colors except the blue. I'm thinking windsor blue for the sky on it.

Cara (and any other "Saltine-Expert" in the crowd )... do you think it's possible and / or feasible to make a 1/4 colour saltine (similar to the 1/2 colour)? A thought just occurred to me and I haven't tried it yet, but if we could do it, it could make some very intereting possibilities....

 

Hmm... must get some work done today but maybe I'll try it during a break.

 

Peace out!

Actually I think busy-bee-lmt does a 1/4 color square. Not real sure how she does it but she designed just the cutest train ghan that uses them.

Here is the Falling Leaves. I am not really happy with it. Please share ideas and thoughts.

(After I uploaded it, I realized there are some little mistakes.)

[tahlara]

I do have a book somewhere explain how to do 1/4 squares. I will type the instructions if anyone want it.

[Misa]

Diane - Excellent job!! Very nice

[tahlara]

For the heck of it, here is the instructions quoted from BHG, Christmas Crafts To Make Ahead: This instruction use two colors, red and ecru for 1/4 sqs.

 

Two - color squares:

 

Rnd 1: With red, ch 3, join with sl st to form ring. Ch 2, wrap hook with ecru (leave 3-inch tail) and ch 2 with ecru (counts as 1 dc and ch 1) 2 dc into ring with ecru (hold dropped color at back of work and crochet around it to carry it along hereafter) 1 dc in ring pulling red through 2nd 2 lps to pick up red and drop ecru; ch1, 3 dc in ring with red, pulling ecru through last 2 lps of 3rd dc (drops red and picks up ecru; use this method of changing colors from now on except at beg corner); ch 1, 3 dc in ring changing colors on 3rd dc; ch1, 2 dc in ring, wrap around ch 4 and join with sl st, sl st into 4th ch.

 

Rnd 2: Do not turn. Ch 2 with red, wrap with ecru, ch 2, * 3 dc in same corner (wrapping around dropped color at back of work) 3 dc in next corner changing colors on 3rd dc, ch 1. Rep from * twice more. 3 dc in same corner, 2 dc in next corner, wrap around ch 4 and join with sl st, sl st into 4th ch.

 

Rnd 3-4: Rep Rnd 2 inc 1 grp of 3 dc bet corners each rnd. After joining 4th rnd, fasten off.

 

Note: Rnd = Round, inc = increase, grp = group, bet = between, ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, dc = double crochet, lps = loops, rep = repeat.
