Swatch for Sleeping Beauty Project

Here is my swatch for the Sleeping Beauty cabled heart afghan that I plan on making for Nerd Wars.  The pattern says that it should be 6", but I used a smaller hook (an F instead of an H).  Mine is 4.25".  By my calculations I need to make at least 144 of these squares to get a 52" squared lap blanket.  It can be bigger, but I want it at least 52" squared.  That means that I need to make 2 to 3 squares a day or at least 17 squares a week for 2 months.  If I make more, they need to be in multiples of 12.  This project has to be finished in 3 months.  So in the 3rd month I will sew the squares together and crochet a border around the whole thing.  I'm excited to get started.  First I need to make sure that I'm on Team Club 33, then I need to turn in my dissertation application for this project.  I'm almost finished putting the application together.  As always I'm taking on too much.  I've never done Nerd Wars before, but I'm taking on a 3 month long project along with the small challenges that they will be sending my way.  Now the fun part will be following the challenges while making gifts out of the projects.

Here are the screen shots from Sleeping Beauty that a fellow team member got for me of her dress changing colors.  I brought these pictures with me (on my phone) when I went yarn shopping.  I think that I did a good job matching them.
