Granny Square Baby Afghan

I finished the baby afghan a little over two weeks ago and have already given it to my mama-to-be friend. She said it matches the nursery perfectly. Sigh of relief. I'd only seen the nursery once briefly so I was really hoping I had selected the right colors. 

Oh, and I'm happy to say there were no more snipped stitch mishaps! I made 25 basic granny squares and stitched them together for this super quick and easy afghan.

I went with solid blocks, except for three multi-colored granny squares thrown into the mix to add a bit of interest and quirkiness to the afghan. I love to add something a little unexpected to the quilts and afghans that I make.


This is the first time I've added a single crochet striped border to an afghan and I love it! I'm really not sure why I haven't tried this before now. I really love the look of those stripes!  

I hope your weekend was lovely. We celebrated our little miss turning twelve with family, friends and lots of sugar...too much sugar. I made these yummy Cream Cheese Brownies. Cream cheese and chocolate. Two of my (and Moya's) favorite foods in one delicious little square. Yum! Moya loved them, which is good, since it was her party and all. ;-)

Have a great week!
