Crochet-Along Week 7: Blanket Possibilities

[JLoriR]

I like this layout. Used colours to approximate the ones I used. Not sure how I would arrange all of the different motifs we made with MC.

I really like this one - I just might do it if it is not the pattern from Bernat.

Looks Great! This is roughly where I thought we were heading, too. Thanks for posting. Are these your colors? I went with a dark MC as well.

Thanks! They're as close to my colours as I could get. I used:

MC - Willow
A - Pink Suede
B - Porcelain Red
C - Incense
D - Sundrift

Wow, I have super organised my blocks and colors ect BUT I have not tried to even think what it will look like in the end!! I love surprises!! One thing I'd like to say is My Mom is in a nursing home, recently admitted and her outlook is not good BUT this mystery afghan has had her and some of my family asking every week, what motif am I working on now?? I have put all of my blocks in ziploc bags and take them up each week and we take them out and look at them and Mom thinks this is so much fun, watching the amount of blocks grow and the different ones. We are having such a good time with this, so thank you very much for giving us something else to think about and do during this very difficult time.

So sorry to hear about your mom, i will put add your family to my prayer list.
More and more I find I am not alone in dealing with family crisis/ health problems. My husband has no interest in my project: is often unresponsive, but I am so glad you and your mom can share this project. How ingenious of you to find something for her to look forward to.
Since I can't leave the house, and we live in a very rural area, I have few people to talk to. All of you are making this time easier for me by sharing your day to day stuff with me.
Thank You all and God Bless.

I know I've seen it a million times, but can't find it right now when I want to know. Hee hee! Doesn't it usually work out that way? Anyone know the measurements of the completed afghan?

I love all of the possibilities everyone's sharing and the color combinations. So pretty! Thanks for the photos guys.

You can find them under the "What?" here: http://www.bernat.com/2012mysteryafghan/

KAL: Approx 45" x 59" [114.5 x 150 cm].
CAL: Approx 46½" x 62" [118 x 152.5 cm].

Now I am sitting here wondering how 24 11" motifs can work out to those dimensions. Four across will make 44" so I can see that. But I cannot figure out how 6 11" motifs would equal 62" because it should equal 66" and then a border would make it bigger.

Started laying out my motifs and discovered that I made two too many of Clue #3 in my main color and not enough in my color C - Antique.....oops!!! The two pictures below are of my silly kitty, Callie, "helping" with the layout. She loves to "help" me with my crochet projects. I'll post a picture later of my layout idea....after I finish those two missing Clue #3 motifs.

Don't you just love having a helper??? Does she have a favorite color?
