Notes

I LOVE IT!

Using only Silk Garden.

I finally did the edging- once I sewed the pieces together (whip stitch) I just couldn’t bear to do the single crochet edge. I also did a backwards crochet edge as the last row.
The one thing I don’t like is that my edging may have been too tight and so the piece kind of “curls” when laid flat.

Im not exactly sure how many balls I used but I had about 15 colors.
I tried many combinations of how I should arrange the squares. In the end, I placed the large squares first, then I separated the smallest squares by color and put all of a color family together in the sections-I had them match up the larger squares- then placed the medium squares where they matched as well. This seemed most pleasing, rather than randomly having a red next to a blue.
