Granny Surprise Afghan is Growing

These 18 squares have been joined since I took this picture and a few others as well.  I'm finding stitching these together more challenging then normal.  I seem to only be able to work on it with natural light,thus outside.  Some of these squares have partially felted I believe, so not really able to find the actual stitch to put together.  I normally don't accept wool, but no one knew what these were they were found..........so, will play through and assemble and will note it when it's donated.  This afghan, as you might remember is called Grannies Surprise.

I'm basically reaching into a bag pulling out squares and stitching them together, so very randomly; unless I get two of the same, then I go fish again.

Surprise, What's in the Bag Afghan

Sometime back I blogged about this HERE, click to see the pictures even if you don't want to read the post, the short version is 2 different styled ghans had apparently been started, they couldn't be put together, the rows that were together were too wide to have enough to continue and make a ghan, and those that were together were...mixed, in that some were stitched, some were crocheted and so I'm now beginning to stitch together.  There aren't ways of making a pattern with these squares and so.....it's a surprise. I put my hand in and pull one out........sorta.  If I get one that is the same or is the same colors but different order I lay aside go fishing again.  Stitching them together seemed a better option than crocheting...which is what I normally do because they are soooooo small and because some pulling of the edge took place with those that were frogged, and in some cases you can see or feel the stitch, partially I think because of how tightly crocheted they are and partially I think given their age and maybe the type of yarn.

So, clearly it will be a very traditional style granny square  afghan, no pattern, black join and lots of different colors.  Think I'll name this one Granny's Surprise.......but am open for suggestions from you all.

Am still working on Learning Logs and Blue Horizon.  Blue Horizon is getting close to completion in that I'm on the last section.
