I made granny squares years ago, actually several afghans using them. I still have one that fits a full size bed like a bedspread with covers to cover the pillows. I probably made it 40-45 years. I no longer crochet, I only make quilts.

Used to crochet but not in awhile. My favorite afghan pattern is: Gold and white medallion afghan. Its a round floral middle that turns into a square. I even made one in black and white. Dont have any pictures and no scanner to show the pattern.

I stopped crochet when quilting took over my life. I hated sewing the squares together. Another thing that bothered me was at Salvation Army store the crochet afghans were selling at $3 to $4. A crime to me when you think of all the time and love that went into each one, and they were just discarded.

I've made some too. I have many of my Mom's and love to think that her hands touched every inch of the yarn in them. So comforting. I'm pretty much reduced to crocheting scrubbies now with so much quilting, gardening, stained glass an reading to do. Love my life!
