Attempt #1 vs attempt #2. Learned a lot😅
I had never done a multicolored project, blocked, sewn together granny squares, or modified instructions before. I made the first one and didn't like how it turned out, so I redid it and bought blocking materials. Life changing.
I spent probably 20-25 hours on the first attempt, and more like 30-40 on the second. The process of the second attempt felt overall way smoother but took longer due to extra steps.
Credit to Carol-Lynn Gee for the overall concept and to All About Ami for the granny square pattern.
