Pin It
This granny decided that 4 granny square blocks were enough. I've got so many projects going and all I really wanted was to just make a couple blocks because they are so darn cute.
The blocks I showed on Monday. You can find the tutorial for the block at
Blue Elephant Stitches.
I just added a 1.5 inch strip between the blocks with another 1.5 inch square in the middle.
Did a little stipple quilting in the background and the middle blocks and added a binding for a little wall hanging or I could sit a little basket on it.
This one is now added to my wall so I can enjoy it.
See the little corner of a wall hanging in the top right-hand corner....I'll have a tutorial on that for you tomorrow.
Yesterday our weather got up to 71 degrees! It was windy but I couldn't resist spending time outside enjoying the sunlight and warmth.
I also received a couple packages in the mail....it was just like Christmas!
I received this neat book called Back to Charm School by Country Threads from Karen at
Selvage Blog. The book is even signed by the authors! You should see the projects Karen makes with selvage! She also has a new pattern out called
Cane Weave that looks neat!
What is so neat for me about the book I won is that about 2 years ago my husband and I went to Northern Iowa for his mom's 90th birthday and I had a whole list of quilt shops to stop at. I remember when we were trying to find Country Threads and missed it the first time.....it is out in the country. What a neat shop!
I also received these cute pot holders, charm pack and a dresden template from Richard and Tanya! Richard has a great blog called
Richard Quilts and I was one of his Leap Day winners.
See this cute label on the pot holder? I asked Richard how he made it and he said he went to
Spoonflower.com and designed a fat quarter of fabric of his label. What a neat idea! Thanks so much Richard and Tanya!

Just love your granny square blocks and they look so cute made into a mini quilt. I haven't done any of those types of blocks for many years. Maybe I should give it a go again someday...right after I finish my umpteen other projects :)
Now your granny square I love. Maybe all the brights I see elsewhere were just too much. Looks wonderful.

You are wise to stop at 4 granny squares I almost have 40 done and have decided I need almost 60 for the 3 quilts I plan to make one of which will be a give away quilt for my contest to guess Julia's B-day and weight. I was scrolling down to comment about them when I was happy to see that you got the stuff I sent you and posted it. I hope you enjoy them.

I love the way you've quilted your Granny Squares - it really makes the squares pop. I started cutting for my Granny squares today!
What an inspirational display of minis on your wall! Love your newest - granny square.
Cute granny squares! Thank you for mentioning my selvage pattern too.
Very, very VERY cute granny squares!
Ah Connie, that Granny Square 'little quilt' is just gorgeous!! I want one JUST LIKE IT. :) Love your yummy mail, too. :)
Connie, I like how you think...4 squares make such a great little quilt and takes all the pressure off. I'm thinking of following your lead. ttyl Marilyn
Very nice. I still haven't had time to start on my granny squares but hopefully this weekend I will finally get the chance.
Cheated? I don't see any cheating going on here. These squares are PERFECTLY suited to a table topper.
Love the Granny squares!
