It's a comfortghan for a friend of mine fighting breast cancer. 4 other ladies worked on squares and sent them to me to join. There were orginally 8 of us, 3 never sent the squares they promised :rant We also had some color "issues". I was trying to coordinate with her living room. We all agreed on specific RH colors, figuing everyone would be able to get them. One gal announced she had bought an electric blue & lime green because she thought they were pretty. I'm now refered to as the Yarn Natzi :DWe're all good, old friends so it's hard when you want to smack them around :goodorbad
It was my first time joining a ghan. I used this joining method http://www.jpfun.com/reference/joining.shtml
and was very pleased with the results. Nice flat seams.

Can someone tell me why I can't see the pictures for this? There have been a couple of things today that I haven't been able to view and I don't understand why.

I think it's so nice of you to do that for a friend....You've planted the seed....I'll probably get a bunch of my crocheting friends together and make one of those for a friend of mine who's been having some health problems lately...I know your friend will love it....:)
