Normally, I edge the individual squares ( which I did in purple first) and tie them together and join in one long row, working across and then up and down. But, these squares needed a little more help with getting to the same size so (enter the mellow yellow) they're not all edge with the same number of rows, or even the same stitches; and I wanted a bit more width then the 4 squares across would give. This seems to accomplish both of those goals, AND it's a bit less on your lap to work with therefore making it a bit more portable. Currently the mellow yellow joining and edging of the block of 4 squares is muting the bright yellow a smedge which is helping to blend...I think the more mellow yellow in the variegated squares.
I'll be looking through my stash once this is all 1 piece to see about an appropriate purple to edge the whole thing with.
This is another of the ghans assembled from donated squares through Bridge and Beyond which will be donated to Homeless Families Foundation.
I hope this Wednesday finds you happily busy. Those who are traveling for the up coming holiday, please be safe and enjoy your time with loved ones.

Iris and Lillies is looking great, I'm really loving the purples and blues in this and with the yellow just perfect. My sister would totally dig this afghan, no less as her name is Iris lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually like blue and yellow together but it has worked so well with this afghan. The variegated squares really set it off. Well done on all your hard work Sandy in pulling this together.
ReplyDeleteHey Pauline, you know how hard it is to make purple show up right on the computer...not sure why, but's it's purple and yellow vs blue and yello. Thanks ladies for your visits and comments.
ReplyDeleteLooking good :) Enjoy your holidays!
ReplyDeleteLooks really pretty, Sandy. like the pattern alot.
ReplyDeleteIt's really coming along. The black and white squares are giving me vertigo :) But it's kinda fun!
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is really growing. The variegated squares are kinda cool.
ReplyDeleteThe black and white squares are really... special!! I honestly never seen anything like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visits folks...wow. I've always known purple doesn't come across well on the computer...though why...am totally clueless about. It typically looks blue...but never had folks think it was black before........so the questions about his yellow and purple afghan (that has no blue and no black) is why does the computer distort it so? Iris.....purple and lillies are many colors, but yellow is the most common ...thus the name.
ReplyDeleteLooks like this is coming along beautifully Sandy!.. but oh, I'll thinking, humming, and singing this song in my head all day now, right?! (0; "Now hear the word of the Lord!"... Have a great day! ~tina
