Crochet Mood Blanket 2014 Update: Day 13

Just completed square 13 for my Crochet Mood Blanket 2014:    Green - feeling inspired!

I am still really happy with the COLOURS  I chose.

I had some misgivings about the randomness of the project but I think that these colours  work well together.

At the start of the project I  thought about using something fancier or more colourful.

I made a few test squares while trying to get my thoughts in order.    9 x popcorn stitch flower squares, 9 x simple double crochet squares and 3 x prototype of my final choice.    There were enough squares to make a cushion (which is not really spectacular but it kind of grows on you!):

The 9 x popcorn flower squares make up the front.

The 9 x double crochet squares make up the back and the other 3 I used for the flap, fastened down with odd buttons.
