Granny Square Blue Agate Crochet Blanket

"This blue agate crochet blanket was a joy to make. The process of crocheting each square, joining them, and adding a beautiful crochet border is so relaxing. I spent most of last winter crocheting the squares. it was a pleasure choosing colors that I thought worked well together. Even though I had no idea what the end result would be, I just kept making squares. My son-in-law, daughter, and I had so much fun laying out the squares and figuring out the layout for each blanket. Then after joining them, it was fun to be creative the have a completely different overall look to each blanket as the edge was finished."
