As I wonder through Blogland I keep seeing all these wonderful Great Granny Blocks. What took me so long????? They are so cute and easy to make I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to join in.
This morning I decided to make today a play day and just have fun and sew in my sewing studio. And boy did I have fun. I piddled around for a while but finally decided the time had come to make a Great Granny Block. I had some strips of Kaffe Fasset fabric left over from some other project so I decided why not make a single block (just to see what it would look like). Instead of the usual white background I decided to use a light gray solid that I had in my stash. Well, as you can imagine, I couldn’t stop at just one so I made two and here they are.
I’ve decided to use red in the center of each of my blocks. For now I have to stop and do some other things but I will definitely be making more tomorrow.
If you’d like to join along, here is a link to the basic instructions Bee In My Bonnet blog.
Enjoy,
