Taking shape

I had my nephew Sam around here this afternoon.... wet old day out so I suggested he sort out my afghan squares so that he could see how the rug was going to look. 
This is the sort of job he loves doing with his nana..but she is away travelling at the moment so I pretended for half an hour that I was Annie!

He did a great job of balancing the lights and darks of the various squares.  I think I may need to consult him on the layout before I sew it all together!

My boy showing no interest whatsoever!  He is used to my mess and creations all over the house.
Sam busy at work though.

 

Sam made me get my skates on and do the last layer around a square so we had the perfect rectangle!  And he had the stop watch on me for the last white edging.  Took me 11.30 mins!  Kind of shows the work involved for one square!!
