I've been wanting to make a Granny Square quilt for a while. I started with a jelly roll that my friend Kari gave me a few years ago. Sweet from Urban Chiks. My other friend Jen gave me the cantaloupe solid fabric.
The blocks waste a lot of fabric. Here are the blocks trimmed up to 9 inches.
30 blocks on the design wall.
I had a lot of extra jelly roll strips left after making the blocks so I decided to make a border. This required math.
I cut the strips into 2.5 inch segments and sewed them on an angle.
They turned out pretty even.
Quilted with a swirl design edge to edge.
The back.
I used an ombre mint green binding. All done.
It's beautiful! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bambi, I never would have chosen the cantaloupe myself but it's perfect.
DeleteWow! Now that's nice!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it QG.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and the cantaloupe fabric looks amazing. Unusual choice, but it works.
