The Way it Goes Square has been a labor of love. It was specifically designed as a collaborative effort, with other designers, in the Creative Crossing Blanket. This blanket was given as a surprise gift to Lorene of Cre8tion Crochet as a thank you for her mentorship and guidance to myself and others.
