Really pretty. I guess I better start saving square & cutting leftover scraps in the size to make this someday. Lovely quilt.

I had never seen this either way. How perfectly pretty. It does remind me of some of my great grandmother's quilts. Great tutorial. There are so many things I want to do, I end up saving future project ideas and... well, I imagine you can guess the rest. THIS quilt though, makes me think that maybe a prairie point edge would be fun. (Hey, you save waste in the mid-section, so there's be a wee bit of a start on it.)

Wonderful idea! I was just looking at a granny square quilt on pinterest and added it to my to do list. I believe I will be making it your way now.

You are a genius... I love this quilt so much and this is by far the best way I've seen to make it. I'm glad the tute is on the board for us to access anytime. I saw it last year, but now I'm getting closer to making one, and it was easy to find again. Thanks a bunch!

Also love Mavis' idea of pinning the outside blocks onto the 9 patch until you are ready to do your layout. Thanks, Mavis.
