Girly Afghan CAL Mystery Corners

Originally I worked Part 4 of Sophie’s Universe for my afghan and as much as I love it, I wanted to try making my own design. I first had an idea of doing the rainbows π like I did for my Garden Romp but had seen that someone had already done something like it so I decided to try something different in the corners while keeping flowers π· on the sides. It took me 3 times to get it right and IΒ β€οΈ how it turned out, I hope you will too. I can’t wait to see what colours you choose!
