A Granny Squares quilt for my oldest and a simple quilt for me
 

For my oldest little girl, I made a "granny squares" quilt from Riley Blake Lost and Found sparkly fabric. She wanted it reversible with a purple back.

I made this one for me, I love brightly colored patchwork. It's Anna Maria Horner LouLouThi fabrics.

I used a vintage sari from the thrift store to back it. It is super soft and silky:

Thanks for looking <3

Both are very nice! Looks like she surely loves her quilt!

Nice work, she certainly looks pleased with it. Peggy

Very pretty! Your daughter is adorable!!!!

Very nice... It looks like she is happy

Love them both. I've been eyeing fabrics like your LouLou prints. And my daughter and I were just talking today about backing her quilts in a silky fabric. Was it difficult to quilt? I love love love yours.

Love your backing sari... and the pic of your daughter is precious!

That sari is spectacular! And I love your quilts! Your DD looks super happy with hers & why not? It's fabulous! Thank you so much for the link. I think that pattern would be awesome made from Civil War repros (or batiks, or 30's... LOL!).

Sweet quilts. What a cutie your daughter is.

I have never seen a granny square block before that I can recall. I love that you used the soft sari on the back of the one. What a great idea.
