I've finished the granny square blanket using my version of Cath Kidston colors. I'm not normally a "blue person", but I really like this soft blue color.
I wasn't quite sure just how to finish the afghan. It had been awhile since I had done individual granny squares. I usually just do one giant granny square. But I did a round of the soft blue around the outside of each block. Then I stitched the blocks together with a yarn needle. Next time I plan to try doing a slip stitch with my crochet hook. I think that would have the same look and be faster.

I crocheted 5 borders of half double crochet stitches around the outside.
My border is kind of wavy, but I really don't have a place to block an afghan this big unless it would be outside on the deck.
We use our blankets in the winter, and I think this one will keep somebody nice and warm.
Now on to another yarn project........
Thanks for visiting!
