Those of you who've been following things since Knitting on the Cam was really on the Cam will recognise these!Squares for a blanket! Nice little 6-inch squares of Jaeger Matchmaker Merino, for the most part.
Originally I wanted to make a blanket to fit a single bed, but now I am older and wiser and think a smaller square lap-blanket is just the thing. (Also, I can finish it with only a few more squares and a border; I don't have that much yarn left!)
Perhaps it was the square frenzy at Mason-Dixon Knitting that led me back to this project. You might know Emma and her son Oliver. Oliver needs a new car seat, which will be very expensive, and Michaela decided to make a blanket to raffle off to raise funds for it. So then, Kay offered to collect squares on this side of the pond and make another blanket! (You can see a picture of the Kaffe Fassett blanket that got her going here.)
And then.... I said, where's that bag of squares of mine? Just in case I don't win the big one, you know? 
And, it snowed a lot yesterday!

I've always wanted to put all my swatch squares together for some sort of spontaneous afghan or throw. Yours look like they'd be great together.
