Needlework: Flower Afghan

I made a couple of these afghans years ago and love the finished product.  I came across the pattern recently in  Red Heart's  Afghans & Crochet Classics available on Amazon.com.  It is called "Grand Gardenias" and can be found on page 72.  The finished size is 47"x62" and each square measures
 7 1/2".  Because it is worked in squares, it is a nice project to take along when you are out and about.  
After locating this afghan tucked away in the linen closet, I offered it to my daughter as this is the accent color in her family room.  And she snapped it up. I was happy to see it get a second life in my daughter's home!

    So pretty. My grandmother made one of those for me years ago...it had yellow flowers. I know how much work that took. Good job!

    I have several afghans, but nothing to compare to this one. It is one of the prettiest I have seen especially with the red. Beautiful job.

    This is a stunningly beautiful treasure. Beautiful work. It's great when our daughters take something that we love and the world turns again. 2nd time around or more is a good thing. Smile!
    Hugs, Jeanne

    This is exactly why I still need to learn to crochet! It's so perfect for Christmastime, but it would also look terrific the rest of the year too. It's fabulous!
    Happy REDnesday,
    Carol

    I love to crochet. Mostly what I make these days are afghans and squares that are then donated to many wonderful charities. This is a really pretty afghan.

    Love this afghan. My mom made one just like it the year I was born, 39 years ago. I like your color choices way better than mom's. A brown background with yellow flowers.
