African Flower Obsession

Over the last few months I have developed a small obsession, Africa flowers.
I started by making a few by way of a stash buster. I used a pattern from Simply Crochet magazine but you can find plenty on the internet


They grew and grew


But joining them, well that was another matter, I just couldn't decide,  I joined, then ripped back again and again

  so instead I just kept making other projects, and looking at them every so often


Then I had the daft idea to start another…..


so I made more….


and more….




Eventually I had something approaching 350 individual flowers


Now I have two joined and have begun to join the third




Well I have laid them out at least


And believe it or not I have started planning a fourth. I cannot deny it, I am addicted to African flowers
