Red, White, and Blue afghan

I am just getting started on this afghan but I can help from sharing it.   I don't know that I have ever completed a pattern quite this tough....and now that I've decided to make it into an afghan...I only have 15 more blocks to make.  The flower block is a pattern that has to be paid for at (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/american-beauty-afghan-block) for $1.99

I was gonna use this pattern for the entire afghan but after realizing the difficulty, I added a sunburst square which can be found here: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=126467&highlight=square

I think this is going to turn out to be a beautiful blanket.... I' have so  don't you forget DON'T JUST PIN IT!
