Here are a few photos of the blanket being put together. Once I finished all 9 of the squares, I did a SC around each of them in their own background color. Then I did a black trim around each of the squares in DC.

Then with black yarn I did a sort of mattress stitch attaching each of the squares together. I did this on the front and back of the blanket to make sure it was really secure.  I finished the blanket off with a black trim of DC, and a double stranded SC in blue.

My daughter enjoying her new blanket.  She said it is so warm and cozy.

My daughter and I snuggling under the blanket.  I am so happy that she loved it.  When she went in her room and first saw it, all I heard was loud squealing.

I don’t think she is ever going to let it go…
