blanket for donation

my first FO of 2009, and it's for charity! i finally got the first blanket made out of all the squares everyone's been sending me. apparently i'm not that good at sewing things together! but it's done, it's got a crochet border, and it's ready to donate!
for the record, on the second blanket i'm sewing together out of more squares? i'm crocheting them together. and i got a ton of them put together today alone. the second blanket will take a mere few days, i think!

Congrats one your first item for 09. Where are you donating it? I'm curious how you put it together; is it tied like the old style quilts?

i'm donating it to Mosaic Community Development, a local Omaha organization. they work with needy families in the area, so they'll give it to one of them.
this blanket was constructed by sewing the squares together, and then i tied off the sewn pieces between each square to give it a tied look. then i crocheted a border around the whole thing.
in all honesty, it was a big pain to do this way, so for the second one i'm crocheting the squares together and it's going MUCH faster!
It's gorgeous even though it was a pain in your rear :) Congrats on being #1 for 2009!
I'm with your crochet together plan Robyn. Plus, it's been my experience they hold up better...sorta stretch better as ghans get used so much. Thanks for the details/follow up on how and who.
Keep stitching.
I've got some rectangles I'm sending off to James in a week or so (Hoping to get more done), for WUA. He said he'd collect and stitch together.
