Sunniest Sunshine Blanket

Hi, dear sibol-friends!
Lovely initiative Sue, this blog!
I'm so proud to participate in the sunshine blankets. I love to crochet the squares, it's so much fun.
Last night I couldn't sleep. Suddenly I had this idea:
Why don't we all crochet a few sunshine squares in sunshine colours to make the Sunniest Sunshine Blanket of the year.
I've made this "blanket" of images to inspire you all:


Don't you love the colours? All the different shades of yellow, orange, pink and a little bit of red.
Are you inspired by these colours and shapes, please crochet or knit the most sunny squares you can imagine and send them to Sue.
I can't wait to see the result.

~X~ Karin ☺

    Hi!
    I would love to contribute :)
    Questions:
    What size should the squares be in cm's ?
    I only have cotton yarn, but it can be warm washed in machine and is strong and soft. Would it be ok?
    Where should the squares be sent to?

    You can see my yarn over at my blog

    Have a nice day!

    6" Squares Knitted or Crocheted.
    Acrylic if possible as it washes better.
