Solid Granny Square Crochet Bag

It took me a long time to decide on the color of yarn to join the squares and what kind of strap would be good.

This is the final outcome. There are many loose ends but I would make a lining for the bag as well as the strap.

Solid Granny Square Project In Progress

Do you remember the Solid Granny Square patten that was posted earlier ?

I made 18 Granny squares for a project .
I am still deciding on the yarn color and the method to be used for joining these squares.
Should be able to finish it this month.
