This flowerific afghan would be great for a little girls room. Make the flowers in her favorite color and I know she will love it. Her bed would magically become her own personal flower garden where she could sit and have imaginative play for hours at a time.

So I may be telling my age, but when I clicked this image for a better look I thought that this design really favored the chenille bedspreads of long ago. They offered a lot of texture when the spread had a design "carved" in it. I would love to have this with colors a little more muted. Beautiful pattern.
