I posted about a month and a half ago asking for hexagons that would be part of an afghan I was making for Nelsie, a dear family friend who recently had a stroke. I'd hoped to finish it by Easter, and right on time, I finished it yesterday! :yay
I want to thank two generous C'ville members, julie5813 & Seneca and Scooch, for working up and contributing hexagons. :manyheart Your help was really appreciated!!


It's really large, so you can see a portion of it here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/RchtrLuvr/bdd81d3c.jpg). Nelsie will be getting the comfortghan on Friday. :)
