What a beautiful baby blanket! I love blankets like this that are made from separate squares, except when it comes to stitching them together. I have tried whip stitches, single crochet, and slip stitching. Does anyone have any other ideas for joining squares? Any that work really well for you, that is your go to way to stitch squares together would be greatly appreciated.
