Winter Project Link Party

I started to crochet granny squares for my Winter project to make a throw for the sofa in the lounge, the change of colour in the lounge morphed the squares into an entirely different project.  After languishing in a basket for so long I can now reveal the finished product.

The squares have been transformed into a cushion cover...

 
...and four coasters and a hot pad.
 
 
I have also  completed a simple zigzag blanket to complete the set.
 

 
A wonderful combination of colour and style that is now all ready to be gifted.
 

 
It may have took awhile, been abandoned and reassigned but it all came good in the end.  I am linking up with Jennifer over at Thistlebear for the Winter Project Link Party why not pop over and see what everyone else has accomplished.
 
See you soon.

    That's a really lovely set! I like the variety of patterns using the same colours. Is that a published pattern for the blanket?

    I love them. I am hoping to crochet a cushion cover myself next. I may attempt the V stitch. I"ve not done zigzags yet as I'm pretty new to crochet. X

    Although I don't sew, knit, or crochet, I enjoy seeing what others make.

    Oh that is a lovely set. The colors are wonderful, too. Your recipient will love it. Anyone who returns to a project that has languished is to be commended. I have a basket full of them...

    They all look fabulous. Better that you make some useful items than continue with a blanket which night not have been used given the new colour scheme.
