Notes

Saw the three colors in my stash of yarn and loved the Autumnal look of them together. Putting motifs together with the Aran (off-white) color and now afghan is looking very retro and 60-ish. Still liking the way it’s coming out, but not quite what I had envisioned originally.
Thinking adding a rust or deep, dark cranberry/wine color would have given me the Fall look I was going for…next time.

Used the tight join technique: http://scrappyblanket.com/2013/05/31/joining-tutorial-tig...
