Crown Jewels 12 in. Square by Melinda Miller Round Photos

These are the round photos of the 2012BAMCAL 12 in. filler square for June.  I have also added a very short video tutorial to show how to do the popcorn stitches used.

The square is the Crown Jewels 12 in Square, and was designed by Melinda Miller.  Check out her blog.

Thank you to Melinda Miller for allowing me to show photos of the finished rounds of this square on my blog.

She recommends size H hook.

I used a single color until the last 2 rounds.  If I added comments or clarifications, I used blue.  As written, means that I  hooked the round as written.
