You could do either, but I was picturing made as one, so if you had
five blocks on a row, you knit across row 1 on all of them. You
could do the border at the same time or at the end. I typically knit
it at the same time. So, I would have border, marker, block 1,
marker, block 2, marker, block 3, marker, block 4, marker, block 5,
marker, border. You could do five different blocks or make 1 3 5 in
one pattern and 2 4 in another. Then, repeat for how long it will
be.<br>
<br>
If you want to stick with your stripes idea, maybe do the even
stripes in the letters and then odd stripes in a cable pattern.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Depending on
the size of the letters (guage), you could do them in a quilt
block pattern and then use other patterns or a single pattern
for the remaining blocks. Cables, basket weave, seed stitch, a
dish cloth pattern, etc.<br>
