I just watched your video on PFDC for a Sampler Series Afghan. I have been looking for the directions for the entire afghan, but can not find the one that you used for the video. Could you tell me where I can find that pattern. I now know how to do the stitch for the first square and now want to make the sampler afghan. Please Help if you can!
