Progress Made

Scrappy Granny


I have made as much progress on my Granny squares as I can. I am going to finish it up at a respectable size with a double on point border. Each block finishes at 8.5 inches. The border will duplicate of all the fabrics. It will measure at 62 by 82 inches to fit a twin sized bed.

Here are the most recent blocks.

Flea Market Flower Granny
Granny #23


Andrew's Tic-Tac-Toe Granny
Granny #22
The center looks like a tic-tac-toe board to him!


Horton's Granny
Granny #24
(Punctuation fabric) Whoville clovers- Do you see some?


Maybe I'll get it done by this summer, but who is counting their WIPS? Me...? I can't mop the kitchen floor and keep it clean enough to baste anything. I am working on some quilt backs instead to keep me busy and hopefully I can get to sew these when school is out for the summer.

Here is the flickr group and tutorial 1 and tutorial 2 if anyone is interested in making one.

Hanging out with Modern Mondays with Megan and BOMs Away  at Lyn's.
