A finished Afghan!

I must have started this afghan over a year ago.  It is a "yarn eater" or Bavarian Crochet pattern.  I found really good instructions from Sarah London's Blog at SarahLondon.wordpress.com .  Some people make it in one piece, i.e. one large square.  I am not particularly fond of a square afghan.  I like mine to be rectangular.  The fit is better.   So I made squares and crocheted them together with a gorgeous color called antique teal.
 I used many different colors because I love a scrappy, colorful look.

 I gave it a super simple border treatment as I felt it did not need a wide border.  The edge of the blocks are ornate enough.  I just did a chain with a picot.
 Before we moved I had two blocks left to make and attach to the mothership.  I just ran out of time with all the things one has to do for a move.  So the finish on this end was quick and I enjoyed working on this project again.
