The Penultimate Squares post for the BBB 2012!

These squares came to us all the way from Austin,Texas.  AJ The Purple was another of the special requests from the Wishlist post  all the way back in January.  

Velma of Made by Velma suggested AJ.  

AJ's blog is lovely...uplifting, positive, full of crafty loveliness.. and she sent us 6 beautiful squares..

AJ started with this granny square...

This green and white large square is from a pattern called Freesia from here...

Then there are 3 co-ordinating Flower Granny 

Squares from a free pattern on Ravelry here...

Finally a huge square which sadly is too big to 

put in the blanket.. so sorry AJ, but it would 

be out on it's own at this stage, so with your permission, I will send it to Barbina as an

extra treat.  

The pattern for this one is called, 
'Enough Love to Go Around'.. what an appropriate name for a square for the Beautiful Blogger Blanket! 

AJ blogged about the squares she made here... 

...and she also sells on Etsy!  


Thanks so much for sending your squares AJ... 
and thanks to you Velma, for suggesting we 
invite AJ to join in... only one more 
post of BBB 2012 squares to go....

Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2012 - Squares from Texas, USA!

 I used to have a friend called Velma at school and I have never met anyone with the same pretty name since... until I 'met' (in a bloggy-land sense) Velma of 

Made By Velma.  Velma lives in Texas, USA! 

Velma has been trawling the internet for patterns for her squares and she has sent us 4 for The Beautiful Blogger Blanket of 2012... You can read more about the making of these squares here....

                                 

Velma chose 3 colours from I Love this Cotton - Rosey, Sage and Mullberry.  I have never seen this cotton in the UK.. but it is beautifully soft.

The first square was found on Ravelry.  

It is a free download by Silja Devine here

I have to admit that I really love this square!

This pattern can be found at Stitch

Nation and is by Debbie Stoller.  

It is called The Mixed Berry Tarts 

Throw! It is a free pattern.

Velma adapted / shortened this

 pattern from one she found at 

Red Heart, it is called 

'Flower Tiles Afghan'. 

Finally the fourth looks the 

most complicated..

This square is made from the 

StarFlower Granny Square pattern. 

Velma found it via Pinterest at 

Crafty Valley

Thank you Velma... some really

 stunning squares for The 

Beautiful Blogger Blanket.  

You now have 4 chances to win 

the whole thing... 

GOOD LUCK!
