On Friday, once again, I took out my scraps and dug in. I already had them organized by color (from working on Scrap Republic projects) so that was easy. What I was trying to be careful about was the value of fabric I was using. I knew I had to stick to similar values of fabric so my squares would not blend into each other.
I have finished 7 blocks so far ( I need 13 more), and I love them so very much. I think they look pretty, and happy, and springy.
You can find Jolene's tutorial and measurements here. There is also a Flickr group where people show off their granny squares, too.
And this is what my design wall looked like this morning. Lots of fun different blocks waiting for their turn at the sewing machine.
Have a wonderful rest of the day, Svetlana.
I love this block too but haven't tried it yet. Looks like your new design wall is getting lots of good use. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks and agree the value makes a lot of difference in the overall look. You've nailed it, fabulous!

ReplyDeleteOh, those look cool! I'm really hoping I can get a design wall made for me in the next week or so so that I can play like you, but I'm having problems tracking down the insulation board
ReplyDeletejust love your granny square blocks! They look so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the granny squares, too. But unfortunately I'm not as fast as you. So I'm concentrating on my little quilt I'm working on. I will come back and see what your quilt will look like.
