Granny Squares

Michelle, from California, made this very pretty Granny Squares quilt for her daughter. 

She plans on entering it in the fair in August.

 

 

Here are a few photos of some of my favorite color combinations:

 

Michelle used some reds, pinks, mustard yellows, and green Civil War prints.

 

 

I quilted an orange peel design on the pieced Granny Square blocks.

 

 

 (free-hand orange peels...uh, huh)

 

 

I swirled the background areas.

 

 

I like how the orange peel design leaves a secondary circle design.

 

 

 Oh - the pink border fabric.....love!

 

 

I quilted a pretty feather in that pink border.

 

 

The backing.....I like how the pink orange peels just barely show up.

 

 

I love this quilt!

 

 

Thank you, Michelle - I loved every single minute of quilting this one!

I believe it deserves a big blue ribbon!!!

Are any of you working on a county/state fair quilt to enter this fall?

Clementine Cluck Cluck Sew line & pattern sale!

That Allison - she is so creative!  I love her new line of fabrics, "Oh Clementine". 

They are bright, cheerful, fresh and mixes perfectly with her first line, "Wallflowers". 

Here is a link to her post about this new line:

 

 

Here are her new patterns - which are on sale - 30% off -  through Saturday, May 10th.

She asked me to quilt a couple of her quilts just in time for spring quilt market.

 

This is "Applejack":

 

 

I quilted orange peels in the 9-patches and swirled the snowball blocks. 

It is set on point - I love that!

 

This is "Vintage":

 

This pattern calls for fat quarters.

I quilted an all-over fan swirl.
