These baby blankets are just big enough that I can't get a good full on photo of them. That's it, I need a wide angle lens. haha I like to justify incredibly big purchases with silly reasons.
To finish off this blanket I learned another new joining method! I used the flat braid joining technique with this one. While it's a little more time consuming than the zig zag chain method I used on the other blanket, it is way prettier! I can't recommend it enough for baby blankets. Do you all know of any other cool joining methods? I will never sew squares together ever again!
I finished it off with a couple of rounds of two dc clusters and a shell stitch edging.
Want to see what everyone else participating in A Square a Day in May did with their squares? You can see all the finished ones here. A lot of people are still finishing up their blankets so it will be updated as everyone finishes.
it's so pretty! I really like the flat braid joining, I need to give a try sometime

I have a question about one of the squares... I absolutely LOVE the square that you showcase in the bottom right picture of the post. Where might I find that pattern??

These are just wonderful. The colours are perfect and the result is just really quite amazing. Will you sell these any time soon?

Thank you, Lara! All of my blankets from this project are going to family members, except for maybe one that may be auctioned off for a charity. This one in particular went to my new niece Charlotte.

OMG, that is a brilliant joining technique! I almost gave up granny square afghans because of all the darn stitching of the blocks. This is awesome!
