Re: Gotta have PLUSH 
Oh bummer.........I checked my stash and only had one so that won't help you.  We don't have another product like this so I'm hoping someone else might have some for you.

Re: Gotta have PLUSH 
:( oh well thanks... I checked redheart and lion brand for something similar and can't find a thing. I don't know what to do with half of a blanket... especially since I was making a soldi color blanket. Any suggestions on how I can finish this?

Re: Gotta have PLUSH 
It might be difficult to keep it one solid color, however you might want to try another yarn in a similar color or colors.  The portion you have completed could be used as the center, then use a different yarn/color(s)  to work around the outside.  Continue working in rounds until you get to the sized you want.  It may not be what you planned, but sometimes when things like this happen to me, I just add something else to it and create a new piece.  You might be surprised at how it turns out.

Re: Gotta have PLUSH 
Thanks a bunch! I'm thinking thats what I will end up having to do. I'm new at crochet, the stitch I use I don't even know if it has a name its a type of shell pattern my Grandmother taught my mother who taught me. I have no clue how to do any thing like turning what I have done already into an inner square... unless I should just make it 2 colors but 3 large stripes? What do you mean "work in rounds"?

Re: Gotta have PLUSH 
Not knowing how large the piece is that you are working on, I suggested you use that piece already completed as the center of the afghan and then to working in rounds, you would attached another color of yarn in a corner, then work around all four edges, working additional stitches in each corner to keep it square.  I'll work up a small piece to give you an example and will post that for you tomorrow.
