Notes:
The variegated yarn was something I picked up when trying to find an assembly color for the Crayon Box blankets. (That's the problem with shopping without snippets of the yarn you're working with.) Anyway, this didn't work with that project, but that was fine. It now has a project of its own.

This is a triple experiment. New way of doing the solid squares (with the seam line being jogged to the corner), mixing of solid squares with more traditionally "open" squares, and use of filler squares along the edges, to avoid the jagged look of the Country Ripple blanket.
