Quilts and Afghan

I made this Hexagon quilt in 1989. I never made a quilt before, so this was a massive project with over 3.000 hexagons, all assembled by hand. Truly a labor of love. The wall hanging quilt I made a few years later, all machine pieced and hand quilted.

This afghan I made to shortly after I finished the big California King Size Quilt. Love Granny Squares :)

Baby Girl Afghan

Made this baby blanket and sold it on ebay. A few years ago I made one similar to this one as a gift for a baby girl. I added ribbon around the edging and created ribbon bows on the corners. It came out pretty good.

American Flag Afghan

Since I always made things for my daughter, my son often felt left out. I am mean really, what is there that you can do for boys? For a few years he has been bugging me to make an afghan for him, but we could never agree on the design. One day he came and asked if I could make him an American Flag afghan, which of course was very doable. Here it is at last, the finished project. I was already told many time that he will treasure forever, which just warms my heart, because I know all this waiting finally paid of.

The whole afghan is done in double crochet stitches. The number stars of course have a meaning to me and my son, which I will not disclose for personal reasons.
