Ode to Quilting Afghan

This afghan was born out of my love for quilting and knitting. Each of the blocks is made by knitting several individual pieces and seaming them together to form a 12-inch square. The squares are then seamed together to form a 36-inch afghan. 5 buttons adorn the middle square.

The afghan will be donated to the International Fiber Collaborative (http://www.internationalfibercollaborative.com/).

Stats:
Pattern: My Own Design; The free pattern for each block is listed on my blog: www.KnittedGems.com.
