It is FINISHED!!!

Hi everyone! This is a blanket that has been a long time in making... The squares were each lovingly made by members of crochetville, as we began our spring round of the secret pal swap. Overall, about 200 squares were mailed to me to be used for this project, as well as to be made into tote bags. There are two tote bags pictured on this blog, and this afghan, is made by some of the same people. This afghan will be auctioned off to raise money for the upkeep of the website, http://www.crochetville.org/ as all of us from there want to see it keep going! :)

The first picture shows the afghan from the right side. I didn't think about it at the time, but I put the tags with who made each square on the right side of the afghan. So, without taking off the tags, it's hard to tell what the afghan would look like from the right side. The side without the tags is a back view, which gives you a pretty good idea of how it'll look once the tags are gone. :)

Here's a list of who made which square. The names are listed, from the picture with the tags, so it starts with the top left square; the off white/grey square, and works left to right, top to bottom, just as if it were a paragraph that you were reading. Oh, keep in mind that some people who sent in squares may not have a square in this afghan, and some may have more than one. I tried to make as organized of an afghan as I could, but use the most variety of squares that I could. So, here's the fine list of people who sent in squares that became this afghan:

Everyone did an amazing job! I'll post here when I get the details on when and where you can bid on this beautiful afghan. :) It measures approximately 35"X50", which is a good lapghan size, or small throw for a couch. It is sure to go with the colors of just about any livingroom!

Thank you so much for giving me the chance to make this afghan! It's been a pleasure!
