well for the last 2 days until the wee hours in the morning I have been working on finishing this for my MIL, I think crochet like embroidery is amazing as we can take this pile of yarn (or fabric)& turn it into this something wonderful! It was a challenge because I still have trouble with my fine motor skills & I am not as fast as I used to be. It has one red square because she has one girl & it has four off white with colors in it to represent the four boys. I am trying to figure out if I can make a label to attach to this or not? Any thoughts on how to do this?

lovely work

they are just about the only thing I know how to do LOL thanks MAry Hugs Loralye

this is just stunning...lots of love in this afgan

Its beautiful Loralye: I know she is going to love it. As for the label can you embroidery one then maybe with a fine crochet hook do an scallop around the edge, the hand sew it to the bottom of one of the squares
I am sure others will have lots of good ideas for you.

I think your label idea is great :)

I forgot to add the reason for the blue & white: they are her favorite colors. I added the red for Christmas.
