Now that I’ve made all the colored panels for my scrap blanket, it’s time to pick up the crochet hook once again to create a border around each of the panels. Because all of the panels are unique in color and texture, but have the same pattern (single crochet), I leaned towards a neutral color to do the edging. I went back and forth on the color: navy blue, dark gray, black or perhaps a lighter shade of ivory, sand or white.

In the end, I landed on black since many of the panels had similar colors and I really wanted each one to stand out and pop. When you lay them next to each other, it almost looks like a mosaic.
