Time for a long overdue Granny Blanket update.

Well, it's still not finished, but I am only one step away now. Just the mammoth task of sewing my squares together!

After finishing my 180 squares (180 different squares, all made with just 6 colours), I did one final round in cream on them all. This took... longer than anticipated. Part of it was that I just haven't had time - see previous posts on the 2 month long Hallowe'en costume, or making things for my Christmas craft fayre etc. plus hosting birthday parties, the general day to day, and sleeping now and again! Part of it was also motivation. After looking at these little squares for so long now, I'm becoming a little disallusioned with them now. I'm not so sure I love the colour combination anymore, but I'm hoping that will change because a whole lot of man hours have gone into this thing so far.

So, here are my squares!

Each little pile here contains 12 squares, and each square has the 4 inner colours in a different combination. Each of the 15 piles has a different combination of 4 out of 6 colours, so in total, that's 180 completely different squares. No two are alike! I'm amazed this can be done with just 6 colours!

I wanted to have a rough idea of size, and how it might look once finished, so I laid them out on the bed for a rough idea - this also took longer than expected!

Part of me is looking forward to it being finished - of course, I love to see my projects finalise into a finished product, but at the same time, I still have that lingering feeling of not loving it, and knowing I just don't have the time or will power to make another 180 squares in other colours!!

I guess we'll have to wait and see! Christmas is going to busy, so more than likely, I'll post pics of the finished blanket some time in the New Year. I think I'll be doing plenty of other things before then though!
