Another one bites the dust

So I've finished another 12 by 12 square of two mixed shades of blue. This particular square isn't made from the lion brand fuzzy yarn, but rather a usual yarn type (sorry it never came with a brand, yay yard sale yarn). But since it doesn't match brand-wise and softness-wise it's going in it's own large blanket.

I've decided to do two different blankets, one thats completely blue and made of 2-3 shades of lionbrand fuzzy yarn and another that is a rainbow. Yes, I'm a big enough dork that I want to do a rainbow blanket. I've done some figuring and since there are seven colors in a rainbow (roygbiv) and I want to do a row of either black or white at the top and bottom to bookend it. So that's nine rows of 12 by 12 squares. 9 Feet... this blanket's going to be so huge! and then it only seems right to do another 7 in the other direction so... a 9ft by 7 ft blanket is underway. (expect it to take me years to finish).

The completely blue one won't be nearly as bad, I'm thinking 7 by 7 so roughly 49 squares. Wish me luck!
