Connecting the Blocks and Border, Part 1

All 20 squares are finished.

I decided to use the single crochet method to connect the squares.

There is what it looks like so far.  Still a few threads to cut.

Border
I'm using the Holiday Striped Throw Border.  Before starting the border, I'm doing a setup round in pink to got the stitch count multiple of 6 + 5.

This border has 10 rounds.
