all the assembly was done only
you may use whip stitch if you so prefer.
I assembled the squares in panels of six in this order

Then I put four 6 square panels together to make a 24 square panel 8 squares wide and 3 squares high.
Then I put the three 24 square panels together to form a blanket that was 9 squares high and 8 squares wide.
72 total squares.

SC around until you come to the join of two squares.
Make picot

To Make Picot
At the join of two squares ch 7, slip stitch in same space
