Suggested Joining

Use the invisible join using the back loops of each square with a colour that makes sense for the square. This will create a seamless look and flat join.

Suggested final border of the entire blanket is 1 sc evenly spaced around. In corners 3 sc. You can add more to the border if you wish.
