Crochet-Along Week 7: Blanket Possibilities

[heatherlt]

I have tried 3 different layouts. I liked the first one best but not happy with any of them.

It was very frustrating for me to make any sense of how this all is going to turn out in the end.
I give kudos ( ) to others who have posted more than one design....I don't know how you do it.

Here's what I was able to come up with....

Love your layout! I think with a couple of tweaks on the colors of squares, I just found a perfect house warming gift for my co-worker. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm sure your co-worker will love it.

Here's my possibility. I followed Mom2x2's design. Those 3 colored squares from clue 1 need a place to fit and the only place seems in the center of the flower. I blocked all my octogons. I am going to start blocking my squares too.

I am amazed with all of your designs! So much creativity!
Can you believe that we will soon see Bernat's layout recommendation? Just a few more days!

I am still trying to post a picture. I can't seem to get it to work. My design is to put all the MC around the edge. I have a "flower of octagons in the center with no square in the center. This space can be left open or some stitches such as chains can be put in to connect them.

I went through Flicker and my picture still will not post. I don't know what is wrong.

To post a Flickr photo, it's best to use the "Share" button on the Flickr photo page.
Then, click "Grab the HTML/BBCode". Next, click the BBCode button under the block of code.
(our forum uses BB code, instead of HTML)

I usually post the "Medium" size, because it works in forums and blogs very well.

I found your photo, and posted it here, using the steps I mentioned above:

By the way, I like your design.
You could always crochet an extra square, and put it in the center.

Started laying out my motifs and discovered that I made two too many of Clue #3 in my main color and not enough in my color C - Antique.....oops!!! The two pictures below are of my silly kitty, Callie, "helping" with the layout. She loves to "help" me with my crochet projects. I'll post a picture later of my layout idea....after I finish those two missing Clue #3 motifs.

All my yarn projects are CAT SCANNED (by Jasmine, my persian cat) and LAB TESTED (by Shep, my rescued lab-chow mix). I just call them my Quality Control Department.

That is awesome....Quality Control Department! Love that! That would exactly fit my cat, Callie. She loves my crochet projects.
