Purple squares

I've been slowly working my way through 200 Crochet blocks by Jan Eaton, making squares for a possibly rainbow sampler blanket that I have in the back of my mind.  I still haven't got round to looking for the older ones I think I made a while back... I'm slowly sorting out my craft room so hopefully they'll come to light but that room is like a bottomless pit so who knows!



This is #3 Square Target, the colours are RUBBISH.  I just couldn't capture them properly and this turned out to be the last photo shoot of my camera's life so I think it was dying at this point.



#64 Sunshine Lace needs a good old block, in fact they all do, but this one is particularly curvy - tension issues?

I've still got a long way to go to work my way through the book, and then I should start on the 72 million squares that I've pinned...

Goodness, how big is the blanket going to be?!

Pretty colours :) Do you have to buy a new camera? Mine was stolen from our oldest son years ago - I kept "borrowing" it and he ended up buying a new (better) one - works for me! ;)

Beautiful squares! I can't crochet to save my life, so I just admire everyone else's :D

Pretty squares and I'm sure even more so in colour. How do you like the Jan Eaton book? I'm interested in a granny square book but there are so many to choose from.

Beautiful blocks, the finished blanket is going to be wonderful.

Pretty crochet squares Wendy. Pleased to find you back.

You'll be crocheting like a busy little beaver but the end
result will be great. The last curvy block seems to have a
lot of trebles in each corner? Is that the pattern?
Cheers, Anita.
