Am I missing something like where Square 4 is?
Hi Jenny, The fourth square comes out on October 9th! I can’t wait to share the next square with you.
I see. The page says the 25th for Square 4 so that was why I asked.
Oh,
That was a typo. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi, I love this blanket. However I notice in the picture that there is a grey border. Are you going to have a listing for this also?
Hi Patty,
Glad you love this blanket! Yes, you are absolutely right. The border will be updated in 48 hours. Thank you.
