Pat those are so pretty. My mother also made afghans with that pattern. I have one now put up she made. She always told me they are easy to make, but I haven't made one yet. It is too early for your hyacinths to come up. I hope that doesn't happen all over, and then when spring gets here we lose lots of pretty plants. I need to do some work in my flower beds before spring does get here so I can do it before growing grass gets in my way. It's hard for me to sew right now too in a way I guess, because of sewing so much right before Christmas. I have done a bit of working on some hexies. Mostly trying to get a bit of work done in the house today.
