D Squares - ...mostly done :)

This is the biggest project I've ever done, and I'm starting to regret charging materials x 3 and not by the hour. Though in that case the commission wouldn't have gone through at all because of the client's budget constraints. I really should get my butt in gear with Etsy and online advertising.

He didn't want one huge square so I thought about a bunch of squares (either that or a huge striped blanket, I thought squares would be easier to work on at the booth and it'd look better) and spent the rest of the day thinking of colors and doing the math. A five-round square with two colors would be 10" across, so I'd do squares going through the colors and I came up with eight sets:
-Square A-Round 1: Purple/Purple
Round 2: Purple/Red
Round 3: Red/Red
Round 4: Red/Blue
Round 5: Blue/Blue
-Square B-
Round 1: Red/Red
Round 2: Red/Blue
Round 3: Blue/Blue
Round 4: Blue/Green
Round 5: Green/Green
-Square C-
Round 1: Blue/Blue
Round 2: Blue/Green
Round 3: Green/Green
Round 4: Green/Yellow
Round 5: Yellow/Yellow
-Square D-
Round 1: Green/Green
Round 2: Green/Yellow
Round 3: Yellow/Yellow
Round 4: Yellow/Orange
Round 5: Orange/Orange
-Square E-
Round 1: Yellow/Yellow
Round 2: Yellow/Orange
Round 3: Orange/Orange
Round 4: Orange/Black
Round 5: Black/Black
-Square F-
Round 1: Orange/Orange
Round 2: Orange/Black
Round 3: Black/Black
Round 4: Black/Hot Pink
Round 5: Hot Pink/Hot Pink
-Square G-
