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.

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.
|

Love your contemporary edge! Kudos!
