Starting an afghan to enter in our county fair

Just started an afghan to enter in our county fair. My goal is to someday (this year would be nice!) win best of show to follow in the footsteps of my mother and grandmother. Third generation winner would be pretty cool. I wil post my progress here and get some pictures too. I have 3 squares done so far out of a probable 20 needed. Im using Red Heart yarns. It is a pattern from Crochet Fantasy October 2001. Check back to see how Im making out!
