I'll run you through what I've done in case you're making the same kind of blanket...
First I did a round in off white - I did two DC for every row (one where the rows tough and one into the side of the stitch) on the sides, and on the ends I filled in the peaks and troughs to give a flat edge. To do this, work 2tr together into each decrease stitch, then 1 tr, 2 HTR, 2DC and finally two slip stitches into the two peak stitches.
I took this pic of my first attempt which wasn't quite right - I wasn't doing the 2TR together into the same stitch with a treble before and after the 2 x 2TR together. Still, it gives you the approximate idea...
After that I did one round of DC in plum, followed by a fan pattern in mocha.
The pattern for the fan is...
Join with a slip stitch wherever you like, then do a DC into the same stitch. Skip one stitch then work 5TR into the next stitch, skip one stitch then slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat around - at the corners, fudge it so you're working the fan into the corner stitch, but do 7TR into the corner.
Once I've finished, I'll post a full summary of the project :)
