Notes

I’m actually using the 2018 VVCAL patterns but there wasn’t a link to the full blanket. Patterns here….

03.26.22 - Finally decided on the Dutch Rose Blanket border and omitted the final round.

03.23.22 - finally working on the border.
--7 chain loops per block/side
--3 sc per chain loop

Short Side: 151 sc (144+7)
6 blocks (21sc x 6)
5 block seams (5 sc x 5)

Long Side: 223 sc (216 + 7)
9 blocks (21sc x 9)
8 block seams (4 sc x 2) + (6 sc x 4)

10.13.2021 - all squares are blocked.

10.09.2021 - I managed to get 11 squares out of each color!! I ran out of yarn on the pink and blue. I used the bits that were tied around the skein but it still wasn’t enough for the blue. The last blue square I finished with cream hoping it will blend in with the contrasting square border. I debated between blocking before the contrasting border or after. I decided to block before (and I may still block again after) since I don’t have my contrasting color yet.

09.20.2021 - finished up the Redbud squares and working on the Granny squares next. As you can see from the pics, the Wisteria squares are the roughest. I crochet those before I started watching the video tutorials. Lesson learned. stuck_out_tongue

09.11.2021 - my first square weighs 5 grams. Hoping I can get 9 squares out of each color ending up with 45 squares.
