I originally came across a stash buster project by the incredible Brandon Mably, didn’t follow his directions and began doing color-coordinated squares. Once I finalized my design, I realized that the pattern creates equal signs going in different directions-moving forward, if you will.

Using the colors and yarn provided by Lion Brand I sized the squares specifically to meet the project requirements that each finished square equal 20” x 20”. My favorite part of this design is that you can use every possible combination of colors imaginable.
