Biggest job of my Life!
I had never tried a project this big. (Probably will never do again either. ) Took a couple of months. Queen size, 91 X 109 inches. WHEW! Colors are deep purple, cream and blue. Gave it for a wedding gift last month.
Used Crochet Crowd pattern for wave afghan. The other one is called "Checkerboard" and is a Red Heart pattern. I used a pastel green and cream. Each pastel square is a different pattern on both sides. Just finished it. On preview pictures are so big, not sure how to make them smaller.

Love them both but the bedspread is wonderful. I have no patience for something this big.

Those are just beautiful!! And what a great gift for a wedding and definitely a labor of love!!! I love ripple patterns and the checkerboard is really cool with the pastels being different on the flip side. Great work!!!
The largest I ever did was a join as you go granny (was a request from my friends' daughter to Santa for Christmas but he turned it over to me to do, LOL) and it was 76" by 90".
