The squares are together!

After sitting on the back of my couch for at least a month, the squares for my niece's blanket are finally together! At first, I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I was discouraged and left them sitting. But last night I sat down with my book, determined to master it. I know, putting them together is truly simple. I'm not afraid anymore!

I joined the square motifs with a slip stitch which requires the use of a crochet hook (as opposed to joining with stitching which requires the use of a crochet needle). By using the slip stitch it creates a firm ridge on one side of the blanket, as you can see in the photo.

Now, for the border and finishing touches... much less intimidating for me!)
