Going Crochet Crazy!

I've been going crochet crazy over the last few weeks, making squares of all sizes, using all the colours of yarn that I have in my stash.


Thinking of using them to make a sofa blanket.  There's only one problem - I can't decide what colour to use as the edging!


Usually I edge with red, but I think I might go for something different this time.  What would you suggest?


And for Helga - this is the Queenie thingy ... its a biscuit barrel!


Love, Liz

What about the dark colour? I'm not sure if its black or blue, whatever you choose it will look fab :) x

What a wonderful looking blanket. Will make any room look cheerful with all those lovely colours. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

I'll stick to my usual and suggest purple or lilac if you don't want something so dark. I'm sure it will be gorgeous no matter what colour you eventually choose.

Yellow? Or blue? Such a lovely selection of colours and sizes!

I like the idea of a blue or a cream edging. It looks like you've got a smashing pile of motifs there to sew together!

I'd be tempted to go blue I think, but it'll be gorgeous whatever you choose, just love all your colourful squares x

Love all your beautiful squares. I love blue so would probably go for a mid blue (you've used a nice soft lilac blue that might look good too). Look forward to seeing your finished creation!

Love the squares. I like the idea of using black, it will make the other colours pop.

Love the squares. The pinks with a touch of red is gorgeous.
I'd workout the layout of the blanket before settling on a colour to edge it with.
It will be gorgeous whatever you decide, because you have such an eclectic range of colours.
Cheers

What gorgeous piles of colour! I'd edge it in something neutral maybe, like cream, white, black or grey. But red would also be an excellent choice! x

Lovely crochet! How about edging the blanket in a nice blue? :) x
