Still some steady progress during convalescence and some more squares received from fellow swappers.
Yesterday, I laid out the squares I've received so far - only a few but starting to create a lovely vision - I'm getting over post-illness blues (in which I was a bit bleak about the idea of all that weaving in and sewing) and now eagerly anticipating seeing the final rug.
It is interesting that several of the squares don't exactly meet the criteria we've been given. Whilst this is mostly differences in size (supposed to be within 1/2" of 7" square) or thread length (supposed to be at least 3"), one has mixed the colours (which I think looks great) and one has sent me a variegated square that is not 'Holly and Ivy' (which sadly I don't think will fit in). I guess this is a simple mistake because I'm not sure why else she would send the wrong colours. Fortunately the complimentary colour is one of the specified ones so I can still have a square from this lady included.
