Darling Buds
£2.00 or ( 2 Credits )
Darling Buds is my 11th Afghan square for this year, 2016.
This very pretty square is made up of a circle of flower buds and petals, surrounded by a very simple frame.
The buds are made very simply with V stitches and popcorns. This is a combination of stitches which I never tire of, and who doesn’t love flowers and flower buds?
Available to purchase in US or UK terms.

Darling Buds goes perfectly with Ring ‘o’ Roses 12 inch square, and A Walk in the Garden 24 inch square.
Or would make a beautiful blanket alternated with a simple plain square.

These squares can make fantastic scrap projects, with different colours in every round.
You can use just one or two colours, or you can go crazy with all the colours of the rainbow.
Here are some Darling Buds made by my amazing testers.
