Simplified Seascair Blanket - Eighteen Blocks Done!

I have been working pretty consistently on my mitered squares and have completed eighteen.  I also started blocking them this past week.  I’ve been blocking four a day, until today, because I only had two completed that had not been blocked.  I’m working the last two blocks for the blanket.
I have been weighing everything to determine how much yarn I will have left over after completing the blanket - less whatever I use to join all the squares together.  The pattern has you pick up stitches and join blocks using three-needle bind-off.  I have a spreadsheet with stitch count and yarn usage so I can figure out how big I can make the pillows to use up the rest of the yarn.
I have my bag of leftovers from the blocks that I’ve already knit.  And the four full skeins all caked up.

Pattern:  Seascair Blanket by Carol Feller (mitered squares only)
Yarn:  Blasta
Needle:  US 6 (4.0 mm)
