Needing 12" Squares for 'Ghans for People Who Lost Homes to Wild Fire

[CroJulee]

In the next week in a half our 2 weeks. I'm sure they will need help for a while and it will take some time to get all the 'ghans finished.

 

Thanks so much Kathy!!

There are many opinions on comfortghans. I've done 3x4 = 12 squares and I've also done 4x5 = 20 squares. I think it is a personal opinion. This is my thought!

 

Send me your address in a PM and I'm make an afghan for your cause! It will probably be the 3x4 size. 12 squares are alot easier for me to do!

 

Take Care

Julee,

 

I have two or three 12" squares that didn't match up with a group of 12 I am working on for stargazingirly, so I would be glad to send them to you. I hope you aren't getting swamped.

 

Now I will PM you for your addy.

I think I could figure out a way to mix 6" and 8" into an afghan with 12 inchers!!

It would look really neat!! Sure, 6" and 8" is cool too.

Hey Julee I will so be helping you in this:cheer:cheer

 

as far as these squares the 6" you can whip stitch 4 of them together to make a 12" square:) not sure on the 8" unless you just use them to make a lapghan with nothing but the 8" squares.

 

as for the sizes are you thinking the Lapghan size is what you want? that would be 36 X 48 plus a border which would be 3 X 4 12" squares. now the comforghan would be 48 X 60 and that would be 20 12" squares. the choice would really be up to you:)

 

so 11 lapghan @ 12 squares per 1 will be 132 squares needed NO SWEAT:lol

 

I will post this over at my Yahoo swappin group and see if I can get a few squares from there for you also:manyheart

 

send me you address please

Hi Sissie,

Thanks for offering to help and thanks for the suggestions.

 

I think that I'll be going with the 48 X 60 size. That does seem like a comforting size. Like big comforting arms wrapping around ones shoulders and the texture like a voice saying "It'll be all right".

 

Thanks for asking for squares from your swappin' group too. You're welcome to give my address to those wanting to send a square or two.

 

pm'ing you right now with the addy.

:candle:lolyou will needed this when you start getting these squares coming in!

[CroJulee]

Lots of tea. No coffie though. Kinda gives me a stomach ache. But mountain dew works just fine. Maybe some good movies too. Hmm, I'm gonna need a workshop of sorts.

 

Yeehaw

Thanks so much Kathy!! Just pm'd you. When I first asked for squares I thought it'd be near impossible to get all the squares needed but now I'm thinking it is possible.

We even have a few finished 'ghans coming. AMAZING!! Thanks every one!!

 

Julee

[CroJulee]

If anyone is also interested in sending a hat or scarf along. I will also be sending a few of those up with the 'ghans. Actually, I was going to just send them up, but I think I'll just drive up when they're all done. My car will be fixed soon and honestly I've never driven that far before (only 2 hours away).

 

Thanks!!

[sissie44]

great that you decided on the comfortghan size:cheer That is a nice comforting size so you are in need of 220 12" squares and lots of tea and mountain dews

 

Hope you do not have any plans in the coming weeks )

Lol, No plans. Just CROCHET!! YAY!! Actually, I went through a 1 liter mountain dew last night while I was designing a new square (I'll post a pic later). Took me like 4 hours to make a 12" square but that's with ripping out several rows SEVERAL TIMES. A semi intricate design.

 

Actually I think I only need something like 180 squares because there are already some 'ghans promised. So that really made a large cut into the number needed.

[Marzee]

Julee,

 

Just sent off the three I promised by US mail. You should get them sometime next week, or a bit later since it's parcel post.

 

I hope that you are able to take and post pics. It would be great to see the finished 'ghans.

 

Marzee

[CroJulee]

Awesome Marzee!! I definantly plan on posting pics of all the squares and 'ghans I recieve for this project!! I will also start a list of names of people I have recieved squares from in the first post.

 

Thanks again Marzee!! I'll let you know when they get here.

I'll be looking for the squares in the mail. Thanks Dorothy!! I'm sorry your daughters squares fell apart. She must be dissappointed. But for every mistake a lesson is learned.

 

Take care
