Crochet: Granny Square Coverlet

Hello again:)
This time I have been doing a big project for my dear friend Rhona.
It will be a coverlet for her bed and we chose the colors accordingly her bedroom.



I used NAKO Lüks Minnoş (99076, 1986, 214, 208 ve 969)
Hook: 3.0 mm
Size: for the half of the double size bed:
         250cm x 140cm
 
                
   
We choose the colors first then I created the combination of the colors. We have 5 colors and WHİTE is the main color.
White, Dark Blue, Blue, Light Blue and Gray.
I made an excel worksheet of the color combinations.
So I had 48 unique squares. Then I started to crocheting with them:)
AND TOTAL 20 x 13 = 260 squares
