mini square joining...

So this weeks mood square is completed. Not a very exciting week. Work has been slow, plus had a meeting in Basingstoke, a shopping centre that I really do like, so I needed no excuse to pop in to Zaras and Wilkinsons. So ive used a neutral cream. Home has been quite relaxed, so I made a lilac centre, but feeling tired and not sleeping too well, so added a touch of blue...


I have managed to complete the horizontal joins on my mini square cushion


Once my little coloured squares are completed, I double crochet across the full width of the squares, adding a chain stitch in between each square.
Then to join, I put two strips together, right side facing, and double crochet the two white strips together...


This is the back of the squares, you can see the ridge going along...


Now i've got to figure out the vertical lines


I think it may be a little fiddly but i'm looking forward to seeing it completed...

With Valentines fast approaching, hopefully i'm in for a fairly busy week at work, and ive always got my squares to come back to, to help me relax...

  8. Love hearing about each weeks mood square. The mini squares are looking good. I was thinking how effective they would look just as they are now on a darker material backing, so the side gaps act as windows.

  9. I love the idea of 'mood squares', to me these colours are reminiscent of spring. It is going to be gorgeous!
