I thought I'd share with y'all the last block I needed to put together the CAL blanket. If you'll remember, I did all 4 houses each month for a total of 48 blocks. Well, with it being a Harry Potter blanket & all, I want to keep those magical numbers in the blanket. So to make the blanket 7 rows of 7 blocks, I need 49 blocks. So I decided to do a house unity block & try to mimick the borders I wanted to do once the blanket was joined. This is the block I decided on.

Here's our CAL block, Drop in the Bucket. I used a size I (5.5mm) hook & my round 9 was double chains to get the square to 12" x 12".

Here's our KAL block. It's a lattice pattern but I call it Dormitory Window because it reminds me of the details on the windows of the dorms at Hogwarts. Here's the pattern.

I just thought I'd give y'all a look at what each of the afghans are looking like so far. On the crocheted blocks, I'm missing 4 that I still have to make up for, a Hufflepuff checkerboard & a Slytherin, Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff chained compass square. There's also March's 4 blocks & 2 of April's blocks in there too. :D
