Two of our favorite designers, Marilyn Losee and Darlene Dale have teamed up to create this charming Embroidered Crazy Quilt Afghan. Crocheted in a cheery crazy quilt design, using 4 colors of Simply Soft, panels are then embellished with a easy embroidered motifs. To finish, assemble the panels, embroider the seams and add a finishing border. Gorgeous!
