Great American Afghan

On Tuesday I met a woman at Abundant Yarn in Portland, she teaches a class on the Great American Afghan. I mentioned that I was wanting to make this, but did not have a clue where to start out, so she gave me a few tips. First, I had to pick out my palette. You pick 5 colors that you like or that will go with the room you want to use it in. Then you pick 5 more colors to compliment those first 5. Then she gave me a schematic of the actual blanket so that I could use colored pencils and decide what I wanted my blanket to look like!
