Assembly
all the assembly was done
using Slip Stitch in back loops only
you may use whip stitch if you
so prefer.
I assembled the squares in panels of six in this order
top row: Variations 6, 4, 1
bottom row: Variations 3, 2, 5
Then I put four 6 square panels together to make a 24 square panel 8 squares wide and 3 squares high.
Then I put the three 24 square
panels together to form a blanket that was 9 squares high and 8 squares
wide.
72 total squares.

Join with SC at any corner.
SC around until you come to
the join of two squares.
Make picot
continue around
To Make Picot
At the join of two squares ch 7, slip stitch in same space
