How many granny squares you ask...



So far I have completed 45 squares.... If I make a qn size cover it would require 900 squares!!! no way! so I think I'll make a throw size. I'm afraid to make that calculation so will wait on that. I've used Klimt's work as inspiration for color and bits of gold in the patterns. The funny thing is I didn't take a pic of one of Klimt's work with all the gold...which has been fun to add to my squares.

The color should be better- esp the photo of the grannies... not loving my new point and shoot that I got as consolation to no DSLR.  I should like it . all the reviews said so!! Its the Lumix LX-3 
I' m always havinig to fiddle  with it.  When its on automatic the pics never look good....It takes fisheye  pictures which was never mentioned but I've seen on blogs that people have been disappointed with that aspect.  I just want one of those point and shoots that magically makes everything look beautiful... maybe I shouldn't do research at all and just get a cheaper camera at at J and R that can take a no fail good pic..... another project I guess.
