Progress!?!

I was hoping to be farther along than I am today. So I guess we will end up giving it to our friends next week instead of this week. That is sort of a bummer. I am liking the blanket thus far. I think it will end up being five squares by five squares with an edging.

I have tried to make it both boy and girlish. If they have another child and want to use it again, I want it to be able to be used for either gender. I hope I am succeeding in my goal because I don't want them to feel weird that it looks a little girlish now or a little boyish later.

I like the way I decided to join the squares. For the final row on each square I am chaining six and using that as a way of joining the blocks. When a join is required I ch 3, sc in corresponding chain on opposite block then ch 3 again and sc in the block I am working on and continue around in this manner. Corners have an extra sc in them to make a strong connection because that is usually a weak place on any afghan. This is also a faster way of joining and looks lacier than stitching them together at the end and, did I happen to say much, much faster.
