Seascair Cushion Covers - Three Squares Done!

I’ve finished up three squares, both of the yellow squares, and the blue square, and will be casting on the marled square today.  I estimated my yarn usage for each of the larger squares (by color) based upon my yarn usage for the smaller squares used in the blanket and my estimates have been pretty good.  I also have done an estimate for the border of each square, and it looks like I can do 14 rounds of the gray around each square instead of the 26 rounds that the pattern called for.  If I were only making a single pillow, which is what the club pattern calls for, I would have had enough yarn to do all 26 rounds, even with all of my skeins being short of the weight on the yarn label.  The pattern does not indicate how big the squares should block out to but I’ve blocked them to 13” by 13” just based upon the size unblocked, mostly going by the diagonal.  With the gray border the squares will probably come out to about 14” square.
