The April 2012 Challenge will be:

Flags of the World
Part of the beauty of the blankets that are made out of the squares we send to South Africa is the fact that in one blanket there may be squares from many countries of the earth.
We can celebrate this world, united through our handiwork, joined together into blankets.
The idea is to make squares inspired by flags. You don’t necessarily have to replicate the flag - you can just make squares using the colors of the flag of your country, or “plain Jane” squares made with the colors of the flag, or of the flag of a country you love for any reason, or your best friend’s home country, or the latest member of KAS’s country…. anything!
And, of course, squares celebrating the beautiful colors of the flag of South Africa are always a hit!
Most flags are made from what I call “crayon colors”, so I’m hoping these are colors that most people have in their yarn stash, and you won’t have to go out to buy new wool…. ;-)

To see some of the great squares made so far, check out our flickr page:
