I make the entire thing one at a time. Your way seems much better. For my Granny Patches blanket I made the squares individually, (but they were all the same color so easy peasy) then I added the white with the join as you go method. It seems to go much faster that way. I still have to work in all those ends but it's not too bad just using the two colors. <br />((HUGS))<br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656865511091957977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-45812680463493822902013-05-23T10:06:32.203+01:002013-05-23T10:06:32.203+01:00Sounds like you are further on with your blanket t...Sounds like you are further on with your blanket than me Linda 600 is great!lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-61449989847671616412013-05-23T10:05:28.272+01:002013-05-23T10:05:28.272+01:00Well I do love making blankets Meredith but I have...Well I do love making blankets Meredith but I have never made one this big before and believe me a few things have been started and finished since I began this blanket there's no way I could do just this :)lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-90359049043168657242013-05-23T10:02:43.411+01:002013-05-23T10:02:43.411+01:00Thanks Hilde, yes do give it a try I would be inte...Thanks Hilde, yes do give it a try I would be interested to know if it works for you too. :)lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-57880271855631479412013-05-23T10:01:53.240+01:002013-05-23T10:01:53.240+01:00Thank you Wendy you are right it is madness especi...Thank you Wendy you are right it is madness especially when I start talking to my little cogwheels hahalindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-69479022579653615342013-05-23T09:58:38.745+01:002013-05-23T09:58:38.745+01:00Do try it Jill, I'm enjoying it so far :)Do try it Jill, I'm enjoying it so far :)lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-13213344216400945422013-05-23T02:18:21.587+01:002013-05-23T02:18:21.587+01:00I am feeling faint thinking about all those square...I am feeling faint thinking about all those squares, I really don't like to make blankets, I get so bored.
