WIP - Little Blossom Applique Blanket

I've started making the Little Blossom Applique Blanket by Teri Heathcote 

from Knot Your Nana's Crochet

I've decided that the background squares will be in two shades or purple. 

The pattern calls for 12 squares but I only wish to do 9 like I did with the Crochet Farm Blanket I made a couple of months ago.

So far I have made 5 light purple squares and 2 of the darker purple. Only 2 more of the darker squares to go then I can begin on the pretty little appliques. 

I'm off to make another square ..
