Description:

Hi! It's quilting season and I'm so excited for it. I found this easy quilt block tutorial and want to give it a try. Please make at least 2 Granny Square Quilt Blocks, one for each of your partners, and one or more for yourself if you'd like. Use white for the background pieces. I prefer Kona cotton plain white, for example. Please just don't use thin flimsy stuff like broadcloth; all the fabrics should be high quality quilting cotton. The colored fabric in the squares should be prints as opposed to solids, and bright contrasting colors, something like the photo.

If there is interest, I'll host this swap again in about a month so we can end up with enough blocks for a quilt eventually. Thanks!

I remember my Grandma making one of these. She used pieces of all her grandchildren's clothing for it and used it on her bed.

Unfortunately, when she passed away, my aunt took it and sold it. I was a teen then and would have loved to have had it as most of the patches were from my siblings and myself.

I can quilting if I set my mind to it. Crochet is my passion though, so it is what I do most. I would love to see your finished quilts.

I cannot join this month but I hope you'll run it again as it looks like just the thing to do with all my scraps.
