Floral alphabet afghan

Post by megan_bright »

I've had some Charles Craft baby afghan fabric for a while now, but haven't known what theme to dd o. I recently got a floral chart in an exchange on here, and I love it!

Here is the pattern I got:

I am using Dinkey Dyes silks that I had from an Oops Bag, and have been just using which ones I think are closest to the suggested color. I just finished the A today :)

A lovely idea to use a floral alphabet on the afghan and the "A" is beautifully done. Looking forward to seeing your progress with this.
