Fish - 30 to date

Phew! 30 fish down, ?? to go. The picture only shows 26 (4 escaped to the needles, waiting for their 3 needle bind off), the fish are not sewn together yet (just bound at tails). I have to admit that as it gets closer, I'm dreading the sewing part more and more, not even sure how to approach it - gulp! I'm not even sure how big to make this blanket/afghan, although I'm pretty sure that I want it big enough to cover me. Then I can use it on a chilly day like today when our cheap landlord can't even have enough heat to warm our tiny, tiny apartment properly! Right, back to the fish, to keep plugging away.
