My Summer Vacation

First, you join the squares two-by-two.

Then you join the two-by-twos in strips of ten (five two-by-twos).

Next you join the new strips into a ker-chunk.

Finally, you join the ker-chunk to the CounterPain.

I’ve finished half of the Epic CounterPain.

If you don’t count the trim.

I deserve a cookie.

Or three.

    Yes, I’d say you deserve several cookies. That blanket is looking beautiful!!! I know quilts may be faster, but every time you show a square or two of counterpanes, it makes me drool a little more for one of my own. Maybe some day.

  15. Snowbird Says:

    The blanket has turned out so beautiful. I don’t think cookies would suffice for this big project. How about the whole bakery!

  16. Karen Says:

    It’s beautiful! I think it’s wonderful you’re not sick to death of it and have it hidden in a closet. I hope you had three cookies!
