I’m a collector of afghans. I’ve loved them since I was a child – my grandmother used to make them for everybody. Several years ago while I was filming a movie in Oregon, I came across these gems in almost every thrift store for as little as a dollar. So began my collection. They add such beautiful color and coziness to any space!

They remind me of childhood as well.
My grandmother always made them.
I think it take a place that has more of a modern feel in order to bring these in because it can go bad granny chic super fast. When there is a juxtaposition, this is when they look the best.

Awwww. my grandmother made these also.
I have a fabulous chevron stripe one in my cedar chest.
Unfortunately it is in the VERY sixties shades of navy, turquoise and avocado green. But in the right modern spot I can see now that it could have a renaissance.
Fun post.
LOVE it! I couldn’t do an entire home in it, but definitely a guest bedroom.
I love it!!! my grandmother used to make them for everybody too!!!

I really love the ones with oversized patterns, like the white/grey/teal diamonds or the plus signs. Very cool throws and pops of color for a living room.

These can us remind of simpler times and cherished memories. This is the time of year to get them out and ready to use again.
I’ve always wanted to make something like that! 😀 It must be so zen just sitting down and making a square everytime and then putting them all together. 🙂

My Grandmother made everyone in the family one and her other specialty was making baby booties.
