    Default I FINALLY finished!

    I just had a mental block about finishing this afghan. I think I was dreading sewing the blocks together and weaving all those ends in! My DD picked it out ages ago ~ I didn't tell her I finished it so she'll be surprised!

    Truth be told, it was a pain to make. I should have blocked the squares but I didn't and they don't always match at the corners but I'm sure she's going to let her dog lay on it and she won't care, LOL!

    I really like it. I can see where putting all the squares together would be a pain.
