It's Finished!
Yay! I'm so pleased with how it came out!
I decided that just 3 strips was going to be wide enough and then started joining. I researched just about every way of joining motifs that I could before I settled on the Flat Braid join, which I LOVE. It was relatively easy (though tricky in some spots) but really went pretty quick. I also like that it really does lay flat and matches the pattern design I made up beautifully.
For the final edging, I was going to do (5dc, sk 2, sc, sk 2, 5 dc...) but decided that was not the right look at ALL, so I just went with (sc, ch3, sk 1, sc...) which I think added a nice little frill at the edge but doesn't take away or distract from the main pattern of the afghan.
I'm still in the process of making the final adjustments in writing down the pattern. I have pages of scribbles and crossed out sections from where I frogged. ;)
Anyway, my first Crochetville CAL AND my first Mile-A-Minute is finished! BIG smiles!
Here's some other shots:

Thank you so much, Veronica!!
It's beautiful! Great job AJ
Thank you Theresa! :)
It's perfect! I love the colours, and the design is fabulous. I saw you mentioned writing down the pattern; dare I hope you plan to post it here on your blog when done?
Great job, as I can see is usual for you. Were you by any chance born with a hook in your hand? Or just a fairy godmother who blessed you with mad crocheting skills and an eye for colour?
Thanks, Lene! Yup, I will be posting the pattern when I get it completed :)
Not quite hook in hand, but a very gifted mother who made beautiful afghans. She taught me as much as she could when I was 11. Unfortunatley it took me 16 years to put her knowledge and teachings to good use.
