1/12/2013 - 1st strip complete. 2.5 color blocks complete on 5th strip. Going to try to come up with a way to join these strips without sewing but also without creating a bulky seam. Each color block contains 2 additional rows (18 instead of 16), plus adding an additional color block to each strip to increase overall length.

9/29/2013 - Started work on this again after months of languishing. 1st and 5th strips done. 1st block of 3rd strip done.

10/31/2013 - 4 out of 5 strips done. Just 1 left to go. I may actually finish this thing.

11/15/2013 - 5 out of 5 strips done. Strips 1 and 2 sewn together. Because of the extra rows in each color block and the extra color block per strip, I ran out of the original 4 colors I bought to complete the blanket and I had to bust out some old stash in the color Harvest. As I was running out of the original colors, I would use this color to fill in for as many rows as necessary. Only had to do this on Strip 4.

11/16/2013 - Strips 1,2,&3 sewn together. So tedious.

11/19/2013 - Finally complete!
