Afghan pictures and wedding gifts

  I have four nieces, three of them are sisters, all on my husband's side of the family.  When the first one became engaged to be married I had just learned to crochet and thought, hmm, I 'll give this a try.  After all, when I married into this family, one of my husbands's aunts made me an afghan as a wedding gift.  

This is my latest wedding gift afghan.  She doesn't get this for two more weeks.  This is by far the most complicated one I've made.  I don't know how I'm going to top this.  These are all made for queen size beds.

This was the first "real" pattern I followed.  I wanted to know if I could actually follow a written pattern.  Yea me!

Wedding afghan #2.  These are "her" colors.  I wanted to do something "beachy" as she lives on a lake.  I had to do this in a two month time period since she was in a hurry to get married!  Finished  early April 2016


I wanted to try my hand at a Corner to Corner patter.   love the texture in these.
