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!

First Day of Spring!

Today is the first day of spring.  The weather is blustery with grey skies and lots of wind.  These itty bitty little daffodils did not seem to mind.  These little sweeties are less than 4" tall!

On the quilting front.  Granny Squares took over the design wall.  I had to spread out to the design drapes.  Yoiks!  I have made 30 of these pretties and am now ready to call it done.  I still have a mess of little scrappy squares though and I am debating whether these should become a scrappy pieced border.  Set on point.  Just thinking.  Haven't decided.  Just thinking.

I have to say that these squares make me VERY happy.  They shout happiness and delight when I look at them.  Can you hear them?

Have a super rest of your day!  Welcome spring!  I hope we start getting some springy weather.  The news is on and they are talking about the avalanche danger in the interior!  Good grief!
