As of July 2008, we're working on panel 11, looking forward to more squares coming in from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation beach program at Kings Beach in Lynn, MA.

March, 2008, Panel #6 is complete!!
"Panel #6 is all done, but we need more squares." ~ my dog, Suki.
BTG at the Park
August 5, 2007 -- Now that Panel #5 is complete, our yard is no longer big enough to display the whole blanket, so we took it out to the park to snap a few pictures. This picture shows the whole thing at Chandler Hovey Park in Marblehead, MA right on the shore. People at the park really seemed to enjoy the show and we even bumped into two children who had created squares at the YMCA camp and they were so excited to see their squares as part of the whole.
So, if a football field is 100 yards long and 52 and a third yards across, how many one foot squares will we need to cover it?
Not sure I want to know..
BTG Panel #2
July 1, 2007: Square count is topping 300 right now! They're all over the kitchen as we're putting them together.
June 27, 2007 Panel #2 is complete! Thanks especially to Mrs. Edwards' Textile Class at Marblehead High School. Gorgeous new squares are expected to arrive today from Girl Scout Troop #1058. Boy Scouts welcome too!

June 18, 2007 Thanks to the Cooney Rumson Team of 5th Graders at the Marblehead Village School (my little sister's class) and Mrs. Edwards' Textile Class at Marblehead High School, our square count is currently 97. Many more expected soon.

Now that there's two, I think we've got a blanket! I'm speaking with two classes tomorrow. More to come!
