I started looking at old afghans from swaps and the one below is one of my favorite. I gave it to my sister-in-law. She crocheted, but did not make large projects. Would not mind making one in these two colors for myself!
This one is my second favorite, and it also went to a sister-in-law. They decorated their home in a western theme.
All the yarn is Vanna's Choice, except the baby afghan which is Bernat's Waverly which is now discontinued, unfortunately.
