I'm still in! I've just finished July's squares and I am going to do my own thing for Autumn next - autumn leaves I think. Here's my latest photos! I still have about eight of the horrid little two round squares to do to complete my squares so far.

And the whole thing so far:

Love the variety of colours, it's going to look lovely.

I've been making mine a section at a time and stitching it together as I go, I was worried that if I was faced with a whole blanket full of squares to sew together it might never get made up, (and as after each section it is still a square or rectangle if I got bored I could stop and pretend that was all there was to it Embarassed

)

Thank you Carolinne! I'm really proud of myself that I have kept going and got this far. I am definitely going to finish it by the end of the year - maybe over the Christmas break.

I wondered about sewing up as I went along, modelwidow, but as I did the squares block by block according to a theme I am not sure I am going to sew them up in that exact layout, I might redistribute them to make the colours more balanced IYSWIM.

I mus t say that it is a very easy crocht, the fun is in the selection of colours. Very Happy
