A Wedding Afghan

I finished another Navajo Afghan, for my son's friend who is getting married this weekend. They weren't registered anywhere. So I asked Eli what colors their living room are. He sent me a picture, the couch is tan. And accent color is mostly burnt orange, with a southwest theme. I racked my brain and posted for help on Facebook in a crochet group... Then I finally decided to do a Navajo Afghan. In brown, tan, burnt orange and off-white.  It took me exactly 25 days.  Ha ha, the first one I did took me about three years. But I worked on it a LOT, with a goal of one diamond a day. It's almost as tall as me.

                                                      To see how big it is, on my couch..

 Folded up.  I hope they like it. Eli is driving out to the wedding (400+ miles away). I sent it with him. He's in the wedding.  He invited some friends to stay with us then go to the wedding with him. I'm so nervous about him driving out there. 😳       Now that this is finished, I hardly know what to do with myself. I've been crocheting mini-stockings.   Well that's all for now.

Hi. I recently came upon your blog and saw a post from July 2008 where you showed a beautiful Mickey granny square. I was not able to see the full post. Can you please e-mail me the link to instructions on making the Mickey square? I would like to make iy into a baby blanket.
Thanks.
Lynda

I don't recall having a pattern for the Mickey Mouse head, I just made it up.
