Granny's Square quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
this is not how this quilt was suppose to be, the pattern has many more scrappy blocks in the center. But because I had several charm packs plus some yardage and I did not want to waist any of this pretty fabrics, I decided to make this pattern my way. I am not sure about it, the border is little bit too much for me, my DH loves it. It is 78 x 78 inch square. The fabric is 'Strawberry fields revisited.

I really like this. I think continuing the background fabric in the border looks awesome. I'm with your hubbie! Quilt it, bind it....be happy you accomplished this beauty with your own twist...

Have been considering what design to use for a quilt for a high school graduation gift for my granddaughter. This may be the one! Granny Square seems appropriate, don't you think? Love everything you've chosen for your quilt. I'm wondering what design you are planning for the quilting. Where did you find instructions?

Go with hubby. Looks good to me.

What a wonderful pattern to use up some of one's stash. There are many charm packs in my stash and I can see them all used up in a couple of these quilts. Thanks for the idea.

Your quilt is indeed a work of art! Your border frames the quilt very nicely. It provides a "stop" for the eye and makes the viewer focus on the center. You've done well!!

I agree with your DH, I think it’s lovely.

mtkoldra 03-08-2018 05:21 AM

if you google 'strawberry'n cream' there is a pattern but I did it without pattern. it is very easy to make [/QUOTE]

The best quilts are the ones where you inject your intuition and creativity. Why paint by number when you can create real art? Your quilt is beautiful.

BrendaK 03-08-2018 09:48 AM
