If you've been reading some other quilting blogs you've probably seen the Granny Square pattern being featured lately. Well, I have and it looked like something I'd definitely like to make!
So, without further adieu I'd like to present you with "Granny in the Springtime"...
This fabric is some of a HUGE stash of scraps that my sister-in-law, Carol has at her shop. These came just as you see 'em.
First, I laid them all out since they were rough cut enough to get a good idea of the finished product...
Next, they all needed to be cut down evenly. It seemed that 2 3/4" would work for all pieces...
Once they were all cut, I sewed them into strips and YES, on my New Home using my new 1/4" foot...
Then, the strips were sewn together (how pretty is that!)
Time to square up the block...
And before you know it, you have yourself some Granny Squares...
I have to say, my New Home sewed wonderfully - so quiet and smooth with very nice stitches.
What a pretty project to have for its maiden voyage!
Some other blocks are laid out, ready to cut down and sew.
Look for them soon!
This is lovely, Raina! Good job!
ReplyDeleteLooking good ! You've certainly been busy since I left ! Can't wait to see the completed quilt. Is this for Cassie ?

Okay I missed Mom's visit I guess. That said the blocks are beautiful and no I guess I haven't seen 'granny square blocks' before. Will have to give them a try, like the fabrics. Sounds like the 1/4 inch foot and machine are happy together, a good sign. A very nice quilt for Cassie not that I am pressuring you into making a Cassie a quilt.......
