Granny Squares Quilt... Finish!



I finished my Grannies in the Breeze quilt just the other day.  I waffled a bit with the binding but am super happy I went with the turquoise gingham check print.  I just love it!  I hung it on a string for a bit on the grandmother nut tree behind the barn.  Then I hung it on the clothesline.  It was breezy again so I had to keep waiting for the quilt to come back to earth!

I straight line quilted on either side of each block.  I am a big fan of that kind of quilting.  Aurifil 50 wt in white.  Backed with a lovely vintage sheet, this is one pretty quilt. I love this block!  I will definitely make more grannies!  I think they make really lovely baby quilts too. And other than the white sashing and the binding, this is another scrap quilt.  This is the the third scrap quilt I have made this year and I still have overflowing scrap buckets.   Seriously!  What is the deal, people?????  Scraps breed like bunnies and hangers!

And with this finish, I fulfilled my Just Three for April.  Just saying.  But more on that later!






Linking up with Amanda at Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it Up Friday!
