getting ready for Granny

Many of you saw this quilt, and the subsequent craziness it has created...

As soon as I saw it though, I knew it was the quilt for me.

getting ready for Granny

So I'm getting ready.

I'm just cutting and cutting.  I think I'll end up with a couple extra kits I might sell when I'm done.

Since my most recent quilts have been made from one collection, I am thoroughly enjoying this mix.  And hoping to get at least one block done tonight.

Jolene (the instigator of this craze) posted a tutorial on how she made her blocks.  I'm going to mostly follow it, with a couple changes.   Because I can't stand trimming blocks once I'm done, I plan to use setting triangles.  This is the link I use for calculating mine...

But this cutting is taking me forever...

  4. Love the happy colors and the Granny square quilt. Can't wait to see yours. So bright and cheery. I might have to think of doing one in those colors.

  5. I'm totally getting the granny bug myself. I adore the way she did the directions...just my style...and I have soooo many scraps that are begging for this. But I can't start another project until I get more UFOs finished! I will be strong!
