Carnival Sugar Flowers

One of my Pinterest boards is titled "Muse- Carnival Sugar and it came in handy recently.

Here are a few of the pics I used for inspiration when I started my newest afghan.

So sweet.

Fun sugary colors

Candy confection kind of colors.

Frilly Degas Ballerina pastels.

Here is a link to the tutorial I used to make these pretty flower squares.

I have borrowed the clothes pin idea from one of my favorite blogs Attic 24. It should help the next time I run out of yarn and can't remember the name of the yarn color I need.

Sometimes assembly line is the best way to go.

First the flowers then the square borders.

Crochet them all together.

Then I went to town with the outer border and trim.

Here is a link to the pom pom trim pattern. It is new to me and I love it! So simple and fun to work up.
