WIP Paperweight Afghan

[ntl]

I've been working on this (in wool) Paperweight Afghan designed by Dorothy Neidhart. The hexes are finally about 90% finished. Then I have half hexes to make for the ends and then sew it together and put an edging on it.

Beautiful!

Very nice. It looks like it was fun to do.

Probably a stupid question, but is it called that because it resembles a glass millefiori paperweight?

 

[Artyczar]

It's so intricate and impressive. And it's beautiful too!

Sno, Anne, and Arty, thank you!
Hermes2020, not a stupid question at all! I wouldn't be surprised if that is exactly the reason Dorothy Neidhart named it that. And thank you for giving me that reference!
I now have a few strips sewn together and plan to start sewing those strips together. And my DD asked me to make it at least 2 hexegons longer! I think that's 18 more hexes, at about 4 hours each...

Beutiful work. Those little roundels have such a striking effect.
