The pattern is Homage to the Granny Square from an online class on color theory and crochet from Sue Maton of the Mercerie. I learned a lot about color theory and crochet in creating this afghan.
The process is to choose 5 colors for the center that grade from one to another. I went from blue to green, as you can see, but some people went from yellow to gray or black to red. The colors didn’t need to lead from one to another on the color wheel. Then you chose 4 boarder colors and d1 or two pop colors. I cheated a little and chose 3 pop colors. And I don’t regret a thing.
The designer used Rowan Felted Tweed, but I really wanted something a bit more washable, so I went with Cascade Ultra Pima. That also makes the afghan a little more generally usable all year, rather than being just for really cold weather.
I do still have a ton of ends to weave in, but that can happen gradually. I’m calling it done!
Quite A Yarn 
Fabulous!

It’s AMAZING! I love how all the colours work together with the little pops of brightness.
Do you have pictures of the other blankets? I love seeing how different palettes can change the look of a pattern.

They really do! In addition to using whatever colorway, people can also arrange their interior blocks however they want. I decided to do a sort of gradient, but other people did different things with theirs 🙂
