Weekly Wash #18: Blooming With Hope Cloths

Recently I designed a 12″ afghan block for the Moogly Cal 2020. As I worked the block, I kept thinking the center of the block would make a great flower on its own. I think I see the possibility for a cloth of some sort in everything! 

I gave it a try and I think they turned out super cute! They each take less than an hour and are simple to make. I hope you will like them. They would be cute flowers made from almost any yarn to brighten up your home and would be fun on a wreath.
