Chequered Crochet Rug

 morning sun provides back lighting for this photo.......of my completed crochet rug.......

 most of the blue/aqua  yarn came from the op shop, i bought a few balls of  bright colours to add some contrast.

 the rug measures 54'' or 137cm. approximately.

 the pattern is from a "Busy Needles" magazine dated 1981!

 i crocheted a square then added a border around the edge, increasing at the corners.....

....& stitched in all the loose ends.
 i think this counts as creativity....& could be part of the 365 creative challenge 2013........what do you think?
