Blocks of pattern

Get Pushed Challenge #582
My partner this week challenged me to a photo that has a monotone geometric pattern. Here's the afghan my mother made before I was born. All those squares are different and made from sock weight yarn (a fairly fine yarn for those not familiar with wool fiber).

By the way, if you need a push to do something different with your photography, why don't you try the get pushed challenge.
What a beautiful memory and keepsake!

Oh Kathy this is wonderful! What a treasure to still have! A perfect subject for the challenge with all the differences in each square

@annied Here's my photo for your challenge. Once I thought about it some, the afghan almost jumped into my lap. Couldn't resist. Thank you for your challenge.

@olivetreeann It really is. I need to mend it as some of the yarn/thread that the squares were sewn together with has broken or rotted. Thanks so much.
@grammyn Thank you Katy. It was one item belonging to my mother that I wasn't going to give up to my brothers. At least not yet. @johnfalconer Thank you John.

@johnfalconer Thank you John.
@annied Glad you liked this Annie. Thanks.
@shutterbug49 I'm glad you liked this photo Debbie. I wasn't sure if it fit the challenge but I look up "geometric" and it seemed to. Thank you.
@Dawn Thank you Dawn.
@haskar Thank you Hannah. I feel lucky to have this memory of Mom.
@jamibann I think the finer weight of the yarn makes the pattern more precise. Thank you Issi.
@rensala Thank you Renee. Yes, it is special to me.
@wakelys Thank you Susan. I do feel lucky.
@casablanca Good memories Casa. Thank you.
@photographycrazy Thank you Bill.
@kjarn Thanks Kathy. I do feel lucky and think of her when I look at it.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@craftymeg Yes, the colors are darker so don't show their age so much. Now the seams...those are another story and I need to fix them. Thanks Meg.
@pusspup Thanks Wylie. I made a few, but this was the standard, so mine never lived up to them.
@tunia You're so right Tunia. Thank you.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. She's the one who taught me all about knitting and crochet.
