Popcorn Mile a Minute Afghan

Lately I’ve been working on a popcorn mile a minute afghan.  I have a basic mile a minute pattern but no pattern that included the popcorn stitch.  So I came up with my own.

When I complete a strip, I add chain 3 every other stitch around.  Then when I am on the last row (the chain 3 row) of the next strip, I crochet it to the first completed strip.  I prefer to crochet the strips together as I make them so I am not putting them together once they are all done.  It makes me feel as if I have accomplished something and I don’t tend to have another unfinished project lying around the house.

Here are a couple of pictures of my work in progress:
