Squares galore

Here are a few more images for you to enjoy. We are planning our first evening of joining for tomorrow night, we are quite certain we will have all the squares in, arranged and ready to join! The last 3 pictures in this post are the arrangement that we plan to use, although the square placements may change slightly with the arrival of the last few squares, it will give you an idea of how the finished products will look. We called upon some inside help, an Aunty of the intended recipients, who has helped us make the decision of which blanket will go to who. So that is exciting progress too, this will help us in deciding what style border to make for each blanket- as to personalise them the more.

So without further ado, here are the pictures!

That's all for now!

Incoming Squares

I have so many lovely squares in my possession, its really special to see them all, knowing that each one comes covered with love and accompanied with your prayers for our intended recipients!

Once again, I have not taken individual shots of each contribution, but I have added the names of the contributors below each picture.
From Sara, Anita, Heidi, Cheronne, Sharelle, Liz P, Julie and Denise.

From Sjaan

From Bec, Anita, and Jemma

From Liz B, Sara, Alisha and Emma

And I cannot resist showing you all some pictures of the arrangements that I have been playing with. Although it may be considered very premature and the end results may not look anything like these pictures below, I know you will appreciate how these three separate 'colour themes' can be created out of the one colour palette. Amazing isn't it??
Consisting of more muted tones of beige, reds and mustard, Ive dubbed this collection 'The Spice Mix'
This looks fantastic in my house- just saying! :D

I adore this brighter collection- nicknamed 'Hot Chilli' :D
I know of at least 2 more large squares coming that will fit into this 'theme'
It makes me smile just looking at it!

And this one I've called 'The Classic' consisting of stunning patterns in orange, reds, greys and whites. It has a sophisticated feel to it, and once again I love it!

But for now we will wait a little longer, just to get the last few contributions in, and then we can get serious with the arrangements!
We will be needing quite a lot of help when it comes to the joining stage, please, if you are interested in participating in this part of the project, let us know! The more the merrier.

That is all for now!

The beginnings of project #6

Welcome to our newest project! We have squares coming in already, beautiful vibrant colours and interesting patterns!
Due to the size of this project I have not taken individual pictures of all the incoming squares. Instead I've had the joy of mixing them all up together and taking a picture like that.

Below are squares from
Sandra, Yvonne, Johanna, Trudy, Natalie, Riek, Margaret and Emma.


I hope you love the colours as much as I do!
Its looking a bit bolder and brighter than I had imagined, but I think its a good thing! :D
