Optimism Reigns...thank goodness!

Still slogging away on this blanket. I created this small strip of blocks to fill a horizontal space in the blanket.

Sewed in ends and then did borders and added background to the edges; after taking last picture, I saw that it was still a bit too wide for the space.
Often it takes getting far away from it (taking a picture) to see what has to be done; I have seamed this in such a way that it is very easy to undo a seam, and remove some rows of stitches.
Anyway, here it is, and I will take another picture in a day or so to show even more progress. When I contemplate this project, I am amazed that I have not grown really tired of it, or stopped altogether. But I do love the colors, am enjoying the continuing process of creation, and am eager to see how it turns out!
My next decision is about the border color; I want to put a border around the whole thing. It is not going to be white, as that will show soil easily. Beyond that, I just don't know...yet. :)
