Blue Jay Afghan Design

 Here's another afghan designed from your squares.  These squares are more recent, as you can see they're very close to the same size.  I plan to edge and join this with a light blue I have in my stash that looks like it will blend...believe it's close to the lighter blue squares.  I named this ghan, Blue Jay

Long ago when my DD was in grade school a couple of parents took a mini bird class in order to be volunteers for the kids field trip to Dawes Arboretum.  There's a large bird sanctuary there.  One of the things I remember learning was that Blue Jay's aren't really blue.  The feathers are translucent and appear blue, but looking at a dead stuff Blue Jay, they are brown.    So how 's that for a strange tidbit of info for your day?

Rusty Nail Design

By now you probably know I've been in design mode.  The process is messy, involved and fun all at the same time.  My living room always looks a mess when I'm throwing squares around.  I divide by color all around the edge of the room so I can use the floor area to design.  It's quite a process, hubby likes to be gone when I'm doing this, lol.

Some of these squares are knitted, some are crocheted, some are sampler style and others are actually granny squares.  Some are a bit more rectangle then square, and as you can see there's a huge variance in size here.  Remember I have squares from before I asked for 8 x 8 only, and I have squares from before Bridge and Beyond time.

I have some nice rust colored yarn to edge and join with, fingers crossed it's enough.
