Designing Blue Boy

This afghan design is currently called Blue Boy.  But, I'm open to suggestions.  Lots of sizes here, so this will be a tedious assembly.  I think I'm seeing this come together with blue if I have enough of the right shades in my stash...though with the number of put together already with blue, and those designed and waiting in the wings...I may have to come up with another plan.  I'm not sure there's enough brown here to use in assembling...but maybe just off white/tan/beige?

Some of these squares are knitted, some are crocheted, some are sampler style, some are granny style...got a real variety going on with this design.  Anyone see their squares here?  It's always fun for folks to sing out when they recognize something.

**Please remember folks to tag ALL hats with size, rather then my trying to guess and or the volunteers at the various shelters trying to guess.  Please also remember to wash and block all afghans before mailing.  It removes hair, odors, oil and dust......and it makes the ghan so much more finished.  I always suggest not drying ghans in the dryer...though I know most yarn says it can be done.  They get fuzzy, and you can't blog them in the dryer.  Please lay them out in a pet free area, you almost always need to help shape it, thus the blocking.

    Nice colors together. You always put squares together in the right way. Blue Boy is a good name for it I think. Can't wait to see all these afghans you have been forming completed. I hope you can get someone else here in Central Ohio to help you as well. I know Kristi is a great help but I'm such a slow poke. Keep up the good work Sandy.

    I love blue boy because I love blue and brown together! Blue boy seems like a good name to me! Or perhaps little boy blue?
    We are having a family gathering today to celebrate my grandson's and my husband's b'days. It was supposed to be outside.......we are going to be inside with this weather!! Keep safe everyone!

    Some boy will love that one. Blue Boy today, yesterdays afghan could have been Pink Girl after the paintings. At least I think that is what the pink girl painting was called.

    SSeger, that's a cute idea too. Not familiar with painting, but now you've got me curious.
