Comfortghan made for Cindy's Mother

This is a lapghan I made for my Best Friend/Sister Cindy's Mother. She has dementia and spends most of her time in her recliner so though this would be nice to keep her warm.
I used the Cross & Diamond 12" square pattern I got from Julee from over at the ville.

Here is the pattern I used:

yarning over and bringing MC through, pull CC through and leave a 6 inch end for weaving in later
DO NOT fasten off MC. Carry in back.). (not sure why! but i did and can not tell why)
(188 Hdc, 8 Ch)

Fasten off CC and leave 6 inch end for weaving in later). (196 Sc, 8 Ch)

Ch of corner*. Repeat from * to * 4 times, Sc in last 28 Sc, Sl St in top of first sc. (204 Sc, 8 Ch)
Fasten Off. Weave in all ends.

I made mine like this other than I worked my Rnd over to the corner so you never saw the beginning of the Rnd. Does this make sense?
then to make the blanket I sewed together the 12 squares and ran a border:)

Let me know if you need any help
