Afghan for Madi

I knit this afghan for my niece Madi.  I started it back in March and finished it this past weekend.  It measures 60 in X 78 in.  It was knit using Sinead Throw by Berroco Design Team with a modification on the border.  The yarn used was Cascade 220 Superwash in colorway 866 Forest Heather.  To get a border as I knit the afghan rather than  adding afterwards I cast on 300 stitches -- 9 (side border) x2 plus 282 (center pattern).  Knit 11 rows garter at beginning and end.  Side border (9 stitches each side):  (K1 tbl, k1) x4, K1 tbl on right side; (P1 tbl, K1) x4,  P1 tbl on wrong side. Body of afghan knit per the pattern specifications.

These next two photos are during blocking (unfortunately blocked with backside upwards so cables don't show).
