It was way past my bedtime as a 3rd shift worker, but I stayed up until the end. Thanks for the ideas when asked. I’m pleased and I think the birthday recipient will be too!

Hi! Just about done making squares. Looking for some guidance before I commit to joining these squares. Blanket is a Birthday gift for a 40 year old Irish female.

I’m stuck on two things:

1. How to join the squares in a way that adds to the design, &

2. What kind of border would best pull everything together

I’d really like something that enhances the Irish feel, but still looks/feels sturdy.

I’d consider myself an advanced beginner, so I’m open to learning new stitches or techniques if you think something more detailed would be worth it here. I’ve got scrap squares to practice with.

Thanks in advance for any advice. I get most of my ideas from YouTube tutorials.
