The granny square block is from Blue Elephant Stitches and she has a fabulous tutorial!! If you'd like to make some too, Old Red Barn Co. is having a quilt along that starts in March!! I can't wait to see other peoples versions!! I love how there are tons of possibilities!! For my quilt, I decided to go with Essex natural for the background instead of white...as it is always fun to switch it up a bit. Though, I really do love it both ways!!
Here are some of the individual blocks!!Aqua and White
Red and Yellow
Pink and Aqua
Red and White
Yellow and Blue
I really love this block!! I think it may be my favorite so far!! I'm a bit surprised as it isn't my normal favorite color combo!! ;)
Red and Aqua
So, I've done 12 so far, and have 8 more to go!! Whoo Hoo!! I would definitely advise cutting all your squares first, as I think it really helps with being able to put them together pretty quickly!
Hopefully I'll get the rest of the blocks done this week!! It has been hard to stop sewing them, as they are quite addicting!! :)
They are...awesome! I feel my arm being twisted even more.

ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks. I love them. Are you using linen for the background?

ReplyDeleteoh my these are the prettiest granny squares i have seen yet. i love the solid you used.
ReplyDeletethanks for all your sweet comments!! for the background fabric i used essex linen. it is a linen/cotton blend!! it is a favorite of mine!!
ReplyDeleteoh, i forgot to say which essex linen it is, it is essex natural. :)
ReplyDeletekerri your blocks are beautiful!!! you are right, cutting the squares first is much easier then you can just have fun sewing!!!
ReplyDeletewow! you sure went to town this weekend!! it's hard to stop...i've made a few more and i'm surprised how quickly they go once the fabric is cut. they look like they would take more time than they actually do. i like the natural background!
ReplyDeleteKerri, How did I know that I would love your Granny Squares? The Essex looks so good! I love how it sets off the other prints. It's so fun to see everyone's blocks. :) I've been cutting 2.5" squares, but have yet to sew any blocks. Hopefully soon!

You always have such great taste in fabrics. I think I may need to give this a try join up in the quilt along. I don't suppose you have in lecien old new 30's fabric you'd be willing to sell in your shop?
ReplyDeleteyour granny blocks are wonderful! i love the vintage feel. it's going to be a wonderful quilt!!
ReplyDeleteDifferent color combination are look so pretty.I really enjoy this blog with colorful fabrics designs.Thanx to share with us.
ReplyDeleteWould you pretty please tell me what fabric is at the center of the block you called your favorite... the little girl? It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are stunning. I can't wait to see it all put together.
four little munchkins,
ReplyDeletethat fabric is an older japanese fabric. i received a small piece of it in a swap so i'm not even sure which company made it as there wasn't even a selvedge on it. it also has little bears on the fabric so i'm assuming it is a 3 little bears fairytale fabric. i just fussy cut the little girl since she is so sweet!
