Rorschach Square

I have teamed up with several other designers to be a part of the Mystery Lapghan CAL hosted by Cylinda from Crochet Memories and Sheri from The Country Willow


Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday a new square pattern is released for free for all participants to use and then all 36 squares will be assembled to make an awesome new Lapghan! And you can link up your finished project to be entered to win a prize! 


The Rorschach Square is a fun design that got its name from the feature of Palm Trees...Or a snowflake...Or a water fountain...Or Angels...what do YOU see?
