Needlework: USA Afghan

Please join my list of Linky and Google friends when you visit my blog!
Thanks!  
I loved the look of this USA Afghan when I found the free pattern on lionsbrand.com.  It calls for a size P crochet hook but I used size N.  I also made 30 panels instead of 9, crocheted them together per these instructions and then I added a double crochet border around the edge.

    Hum... An afghan. Maybe I need to make an afghan?

    One of the problems with joining up with the blogging community is seeing what everyone else is up to and wanting to do it too. I like your afghan a lot. It looks cozy and warm and pretty.
