Purple Around the World quilt-ghan

[Isabel]

Wow, very awesome! Love the color combination you used. Though I could be biased since it's in my favorite color. It turned out so lovely. You must have an awesome amount of patience! All those little squares! I don't know if I could have stuck this one through. I know she will this!

Thats my color. and you gave me a good ideal, I always want a quilt for my king size bed, but I don't do quilting. but I never thought abot a afghan done in purple and gree.so I think thats what my next project might be , Ihave so many things going on at one time I need to finish them and take it from there thank you so much for the ideal and I just love this one:yay:crocheting

I have a question, probably a dumb one, but how did you figure out how much yarn you needed and how many of each color of saltines?

pretty

[Swayde]

I love it! The purples go really well together and I love the pattern. I totally admire your ability to make that many squares, and join them, without cursing them and swearing off them forever =)

Not a dumb question at all (and I asked too!) In the Every Happy House CAL there are a bunch of people making different quilt-ghans. The owner of the HappyYellowHouse webpage (the Cara mentioned above) has made estimates of how many saltines she gets out of a skein of Red Heart Super Saver yarn and figured she gets anywhere from 40 to nearly 50 on occassion (depending on your tension and all that). I use that number as an estimate of how many skeins I need once I have drawn out a graph of the colors and then counted how many of each color needed.

Wow! I cannot imagine taking on such a project, I *hate* weaving in ends *and* I hate putting pieces together! But your ghan sure is good looking.

Love it! I've been wanting to make a quilted one, but maybe I'll eventually make a crocheted one. Would be a cute baby blanket too!
