Granny Squares!

I'm a bit behind the times...Oh well.  I have been wanting to make one of these quilts for a while.  When they came out I saw so many that were just stunning.  But I had (and still have) a giant list of quilts I wanted to make...so it just sat there, on my list.  But my mother told me that a quilt needed to be made, a quilt for a very special person in my life...and she was right.  I knew the granny square quilt was the way to go.



I decided to use the tutorial by Blue Elephant Stitches on Moda Bake Shop.  It calls for a jelly roll.  I didn't want to use a jelly roll, so I purchased some yardage and cut that into my 2.5 x WOF strips.
 

 Then I sewed them all together...


And dredded ironing the seams... But then they were in pretty rows.


So I cut them, sewed a bit more, and now they are granny squares!


Twelve more to go... then I will trim them.



Here are a few direct links to some of my favorites from Blogland:

    Yes, I have made one. It is on my daughter's bed and it is just so nice to look at, so I'm going to make another one for my niece. There is a reason they are so popular - they just look so good, and your one is looking lovely too.

    Just lovely ! They look great.

    I made three of them into a table runner last year ( loved the block but didn't want to make an entire quilt at that time) and I still love it! :)
