rvan777 Posted June 13, 2008 I just finished this American flag for my grandson Allen in Pennsylvania. . Here is a link to pictures of the afghan. At a few points I thought my arms would fall off before getting it done-Ruth http://entertainment.webshots.com/album/559169403TCELHM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdlady1 Posted June 13, 2008 Wow, great job! That afghan is HUGE! How many stars did you put on? Did you crochet them separately and then sew them on? Which pattern did you use? The flag is one of the projects on my wish list. We'll have 60 states by the time I get to it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvan777 Posted June 13, 2008 The flag is out of a book that I have. I need to find the book and post which book it is. There are 49 starts on this flag and it is crocheted in a octagon shape and sewn together to make a square shape. I made this in a little over a week. It does go very fast.

CrochetAmore Posted June 15, 2008 You made THAT in a little over a week? Did you sleep? Eat? Go to the bathroom? Wow! I was thinking the same thing! I love the stars. I'd make an afghan just out of them! LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crochetstepmom Posted June 15, 2008 That is great! I made one for my mom for Mother's Day. I had a hard time with the stars, though. Yours are PERFECT!!!! I love that pattern. It was a lot of fun. Even though it is big, it does go pretty quickly. I was working on 3 projects at the time and I think it took me about 3 weeks to finish it. Great job!!! Yours is FANTASTIC!!!!!:cheer:clap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
