Stitching Update - Week 17

For the past three weeks I've been primarily working on our afghan project. If you've been reading me for awhile you know that my daughter, Jessica, my DIL, Janel, and I are stitching afghans. We each chose a theme for our afghan and are stitching them in a rotation. We each stitch three squares on the one we're working on and then we rotate them to the next stitcher. It's so fun and I just love seeing the squares that the girls stitch on mine. We have completed one year of this rotation and will be switching in May to start our 2nd rotation. We've each been stitching on our own this time around.

For some reason, I got way enthusiastic and stitched more than 3 squares on mine. It is so colorful! And it's fun to see the squares filling up. The theme of my afghan is the months of the year. Some of the months have two extra squares and some of them have one extra square. I tried to find patterns that would compliment each month. Jessica and Janel pick the extras that they're going to stitch and it's always an awesome surprise when I see what they've chosen. Here's photos of my squares:
