It's been a long time since an update! Here's the state of the blanket now (all squished on my couch.. I'll get a better picture once it's done).
I've made all the squares, put them together, and added the border. All that's left is to sew the ends in. There's about 900 threads or so. I'm hoping to finish it up by the end of this month.
(This is actually the second blanket. The first one wasn't turning out very well so I switched techniques and made a second one instead. It saved me a lot of time in the end but making blankets is quite a task! D: )
