I decided I couldn't face sewing my granny squares together so thought I would try the continuous join method. I used the tutorial on the patchworkcrochet.co.uk blog and Lucy's blog at Attic 24. It is easy enough to do but one of those things it is difficult to get to grips with initially. I used silver grey for the joining row and I will use the colours and more grey in the border.
After you have joined the first row of squares together you go along the bottom of the first row. I slipped stitch into the beginning of the corner, did another slip stitch across the middle and slipped stitch into the beginning of the corner in the next square. I found this was the best way to make the corners sit neatly.
Here is a photo taken halfway through. I have now finished joining and I just have to do the border now.
