Deb, 
What is the over all dimensions of the blanket once it is finished?
That might give us a better idea of how much yarn to purchase.

Hi,
I have the first whole heart done boarder to boarder across. I did it as a 
solid color. I used Lion Brand Jiffy 1 1/2 skein. This gives about 3 inches 
long. I am using the cindy Wood afghan round 1/2 guage loom. It depends on 
how big you want to make it. I also have made it as baby blanket us Lion 
Brand Home Town USa varagated color & used the same abmount of yarn. I did 
not think about doing more than 1 color across. I don't think that you want 
to do more than 2 colors across because tring to get straight which color 
you are using. I probablly would do the boarder & the heart 1 color & the 
background another color alternating the same way we did making the strip 
stocking.

Wouldn't it have to be done in a solid or verigade.  I would think you would

be going across, that would mean, doing part of the boarder, background, 
heart, background, and back to the boarder?
How could you change colors in the middle of a row, inless you were going to

sew the boarder to the heart.  I do not think so!!!
How many scains do you think it will take and any color ideas?

So the borders will take the least amount of yarn right?
I'm getting ready to submit an order for my yarn and trying to figure out 
how much of each color to get.
I'm going with a pine green, with fisherman white heart and a crimson/white 
border.
Or maybe I'm not envisioning this correctly?
