Today I got it for the third time so I decided to state my progress. I decided on making 55 squares with 5 different color squares behind the Owls. I also decided early on NOT to use buttons. 110 buttons just sounded too much. So I'm making a 6 prong starburst in the center of each white circle. Very Cute.
Here's a bit about the material I'm using. I'll give you a bit of information on what I've used. First I am using mostly leftover yarn that was donated to our Senior Center. I did have to purchase black yarn.Red Heart Super Saver from Walmart. 744 yds. I do not know for sure if this will be enough for each square and for the borders. For the Owl I used one skein of a very light pink, and two browns probably equal to one skein. I also had to use 2 different greens. Remember I'm using leftovers here. Since I was only doing 11 squares with each color scheme I only needed about a half of skein of each. My 5 color schemes after the green row. 1. Medium blue and medium brown 2.light green and Burgundy, 3. Light purple and deep red 4. dark purple and Olive green and finally 5 Dark purple and rust. All of these have one row of black around them. I know the color scheme sounds strange but since I wasn't going to make all the squares exact I decided to just go for whatever I could find in the donation closet.
