Crochet-Along Clue 7 (Week 8)

[Jen]

Is this the final clue, or will there be a border next?

There's still a border to be done.

I have maybe a dumb question, but I have never seamed a blanket before. How do you choose which color to seam together with? When your putting two pieces together do you just pick one of the two so it matches? Also does this mean that you keep switching colors between each of the pieces that you are connection and if so how do you finish off the end. Boy this is a challenge for me.

Personally, I try to make sure it's one of the two colors that are being seamed together. You could pick a different, matching color and seam everything with that to good effect as well.

I thought the 12 inch tails we left after each motiff was what we were going to seam with . Did I miss understand??

Yes, if you have tails, you can seam with those. you'll just need to carry the yarn to the corner first.

I thought the motifs looked like flowers so glad I was right!!!

Are we seaming the whole project together or just certain motif's?

Yes, we are seaming all the motifs together.

okay so I watched the video on how to seem. Now I am just wondering how you start and finish. Do you just weave in the start and then do your seam and weave in the end? I'm sorry I have never done this before but am so excited to start. Thank you for any help!!!:) by the way I did not leave the long ends so I am starting with loose yarn. Maybe that makes more sense.

Yes, we are seaming all the motifs together.

Thank you for the reply! It looked like in the chart that some motif's were only shaded and I thought those ones aren't to be seamed. Glad to know so I can start now!
