Ta-Da!!!!

It's all fixed and done! And thank you all so much for the comments and suggestions on how to fix it!
Of the 3 panels, I had 25 full shells on one, 26 on the 2nd, and 27 on the 3rd! So first thing I tried was adding on the missing shells. I figured if that didn't work, I'd scrap it till another day (or year). But that worked out great! Very hard to tell where I added on, and a non crocheter would probably not be able to tell.
Worst part was all the added ends I had just for adding that little bit on 2 panels!
So....here it is!!!!!!
I did a zigzag to connect the panels because it just looked really neat :)
The pattern is not mine, it is from Red Heart "Choice Afhgans" Art J17 Book 0701. It is very small and only has 4 afghan patterns in it. I picked it up maybe 7 years ago in a variety store. I've made that pattern 3 times now, once in purples and black, you can find it here , just scroll down a bit, and the other I made is in 3 shades of sage greens and tan. I did get it put together finally but never finished it....lol but you can see that one here , last one on the page.

The pattern works up pretty fast. This last one I did I made bigger panels. I've been wanting to do a blue one.....and maybe a rainbow one.....someday :):):)

It looks great! Well done for not giving up on it and having the determination to see it through.

I particularly like the zig-zag panel seam you've used, it's quite decorative in this piece :)
