Sample Squares

I have been working on the second afghan.  Actually, it is called a sampler throw.  It consists of twenty squares done with six different patterns and colors.  I have completed seven of the squares and have one of each of the colors and patterns.  Here is a sample of each.

Square #1 is a seed stitch and will have 2 of this color and 1 of tan.

Square #2 is a ridge stitch and will have 1 of this light brown and 2 of chocolate.

Square #3 is a diagonal rib and will have 1 of this light blue and 2 of midnight blue.

Square #4 is a blackberry stitch and will have 2 of this tan (darker than looks) and 2 of chocolate.

Square #5 is a berry stitch (looks a little different than shows) and will have 2 of this chocolate (darker than looks) and 2 of light brown.

Square #6 is a basket weave stitch and will have 2 of this midnight blue (darker than looks) and 1 of light blue.

The throw is made of five rows with four squares in each row.  The patterns repeat diagonally up the throw with the colors alternating.  This probably sounds confusing, but on paper, it is easier to follow.  I wish the colors and patterns looked better in the pictures.  It is so hard to capture the true feeling for the throw, but I think it will be quite nice when it is finished.
