Spicy Rose Afghan Square

[Katchkan]

I have decided I need a project for my lunch breaks at work. So I dug out this design I did a few years ago and tweaked it a bit. I also rewrote it since my pattern writing skills have improved since I first designed this. Thought I would share it with all of you.

This is simple design. The one thing I do like about this design is there is no sewing together of squares. I hate doing that and all of my designs are designed to be attached as you go. I will do motifs up to the final rnd and then bring them home to attach to the actual afghan. May take me a while to complete, so I thought I would do up a sampler so I could share this pattern with you now. I am hoping to have this done as a Christmas present for my Daughter in Kentucky.
Hope you enjoy.
