Update: Assorted Shades of Brown (Chocolate) afghan

I finally completed the first 18 of 36 squares for this blanket.  I would have completed all 36 if there wasn’t a family emergency earlier this week.  Thank goodness, everything turned out okay.   I am a bit behind for this blanket. I am 18 motifs behind. I wanted to spend no more than 8 days or less to complete the 36 motifs.

I have added this pattern to my Ravelry store on Ravelry.com. Here’s the link:

Progress so far:
Day 1 of 28: (Jan 5) Make sample motifs. If they turn out okay, begin making 18 of each design.
Day 2 of 28: (Jan 6) Began making squares after obtaining gauge and coming up with an adapted version of the original vintage pattern.
Day 3-6 of 28: (Jan 7 - 10) Had a family emergency come up and was only able to work on these squares for about 1 hour before bedtime each night.
Day 7 of 28: (Jan 11) Finally finished the first 18 squares and weaved in the ends.
