Granny's Attic - complete!

It's done and I think it's beautiful and bright and so wonderfully perfect for someone else's forever home! My evenings are free again!

I had the Granny's Attic afghan on my list of projects I wanted to do, but not for myself. Most afghans don't feel modern enough for me, but I still love the colors and patterns of all of them.

It really wasn't until it was complete that I can appreciate how much the colors pop, especially with a bit of sunlight coming in the window.

The afghan is a good size. and would be great as a large throw for the sofa or on a single bed. It almost fits my queen size bed as it is.  I think 4 X 6 squares would make a nice comfy sized lapghan for the one person. Chico's is 4 X 4 and it's wide enough, but I'd want it a bit longer if I was going to use it for myself.

 
I really hope Gina is happy with it and her daughter loves it.
