FINISHING
Using color to match Panels being joined, sew Panels tog as shown in Assembly Diagram, aligning stripes and noting that RS of a 1st through 6th Panels are facing and WS of 7th Panel is facing (to ensure yarn carried up side of work on 7th Panel is hidden in seam) and 1st rows are all aligned. Use a flat seam, enclosing yarn carried up side of work and ensuring joining yarn is hidden in seam. Be careful not to pull seam too tightly to ensure straight and smooth edges along Top and Bottom of Blanket.
