Willow Block Afghan
So, I've been working on this afghan for two winters now (since winter is the best time for making afghans) and just recently finished it!
Behold! The Willow Block Afghan! I used Red Heart yarn in Real Teal, Dark Orchid, and Artist Print for the Variegated. The block design is called Willow and I got it from the book 200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans: Crochet Squares to Mix and Match The blocks are joined together with single crochets in the Artist Print and then I put a border around the whole thing that mimics the inner points and scallops section of the block. When I started I couldn't decide whether I wanted the Teal or Orchid to be the dominant color so I made the blocks alternate.[/color]

Re: Willow Block Afghan
That looks great 
I love the colour choices. I also think you did a great job making it look nice and consistent - I'm making a simple granny square blanket right now, and it's so wonky it's not even funny 
So well done!

That is a lovely afghan. I only wish my crochet skills were as good!
