Honey Flower Motif

Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This motif is fast and easy to make and would look wonderful in a rainbow of colors in any afghan. Here is an idea. Get the 6 colors of the rainbow and a skein of white yarn. Make a bunch of these with white in the center and the colors on the last round. Then sew or crochet them together with the white yarn. I think this would be breathtaking.
