FO: Mitered Crosses Baby Blanket

I've been working on little miter cross squares forever.  They travel well and they are addictive.  I haven't even kept up with how many I've made. 

But when I suddenly learned that I had about five days to come up with a handknit baby blanket, rather than panic I dove into my basket of squares.  We weren't sure of baby gender, so neutrals ruled.

I spent most of those five days fiddling with end-weaving.  What a mess!  But finally, finally I joined square after square and wove some more.

 And then I decided I needed a border.

So I woke at 4am on the day of the baby shower to scurry and create attached I-cord around the edges.

And finally it was done.

With no time to spare.

I haven't had a chance to wash or block yet, though, so I'm worried.  What if the colors run?  Oh, the problems with using light/white yarns!
