Grannies in the breeze...

It was a really lovely day today.  Not only did I get the top of my grannies all together but I declared war on the creeping buttercups encroaching on the flower beds.  Don't get me wrong, I love buttercups.  I just don't like them in the flower beds!

So here are the grannies out for a turn on the clothesline!  I think they are looking pretty spiffy.  I sashed the blocks in 2.5" strips and repeated the white sashing in the 2.5" square cornerstones.  The borders are 5" strips broken up by a little bit of pieced leftover granny squares.  I actually took some leftover squares and cut them down to 2" squares and then pieced them on point with some of the leftover setting triangles from the block construction. I needed to do that so they would fit in the 5" borders.   Have I just made this really complicated?  I hope not!  I still need to give the whole top a good press!  Woo hoo!  I think I can enter this in Stitched in Colour's Scrap Attack linky party next week.  Rachel says you can enter a finished quilt or a top.  It will be a complete festival of scrap-happiness!

I do so like this quilt!!!

I must say a big welcome to all my new followers!  Welcome, welcome! I also want to say how much fun it was to have Swoon on Quilt Story yesterday!  That was most exciting!

Have a super rest of your day!  I am off bright and early to a big quilting and sewing trade fair tomorrow morning!!!!!  I cannot wait!

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