20 Minuters

Posted on by

Last winter, in preparation for long cold evenings,  I bought a fantastic book

200 crochet blocks for blankets, throws and afghans

by Jan Eaton

(Isn’t Bella cute!!! always ready to play!)

On moving to a new area I suddenly realized that

my old blue sofa was looking rather tatty to say the least. Looking through my book

for inspiration I found two squares that I quite liked the look of.

My original thought for a throw was to use all the same colour,

but then I do get rather bored after a while with “sameness”

– that was when I chose the second square to add a bit of variety.

Also different colours ….. I am quite happy with the end result though I will

probably extend the border ….. perhaps with another colour or two!

I do think it is an improvement at any rate :0)

and it will be cozy for the long cold winter evenings!

so that was  my 20 Minuters for a few weeks !

  1. Love it Val, colours are great! I so know what you mean about ‘sameness’, we all need a bit of variety. You’re being very productive.
    Lovely to see Bella, sooo sweet. 🙂

  2. Isn’t great seeing the finished project ?
    I need to finish at least one
    before long.
    I try not to start something new
    but never win the tussle
    and end up with another project.
    Congrats on finishing your afghan
    and having it turn out so lovely.
    Hugs,
