A New Project




I am back to sewing...but not with my own machine.  I am using a loaner from the quilt shop.  So, of course, since I hadn't sewn anything for a while, I had to start something new.   I fell in love with the Great Granny block.  There is a quilt along going on, hosted by Jodi @ Pleasant Home and Lori @ Bee in My Bonnet.  I am using an Amy Butler jelly roll for the rounds,  Robert Kaufman Fusions for the centres and Kona Snow for the background.  I have a plan for these blocks in mind, but more on that later.

  1. Beautiful blocks Linda , glad to hear you are back to sewing a little disappointing it is on a loaner though. I have been eyeing those granny square blocks for a while and I am so tempted :-)
