Granny Square quilt

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.
