Sweet because these have been so fun to make, and I've had a wonderful time sewing the last few weeks.
It felt therapeutic to sort through my scrap baskets and wonder how the blocks would look as I played with various fabric combinations.
Kind of like watching a jig saw puzzle come together.
Bitter when #20 was complete, knowing that I won't be making any more blocks :(
Although I guess I could make a second Great Granny if I wanted!... hmmm... that's an idea!
Wouldn't it be fun to experiment with a black background, similar to the traditional crocheted granny squares?
Love these BIG 12-inch blocks
Now it's time to start sewing the Grannies together with sashings.

They are gorgeous blocks Nedra. They are really YOU, but another set with black background would be sweet - hugs Nat
I think these are the nicest ones I've seen - so lovely, colourful and scrappy. How about making a couple more to ease the pain of finishing them and turning them into matching cushions or pillows ? xx
are you using 2 1/2 inch squares for these?

Oooh I love those blocks and you're right, a black background would be really fun too
Your blocks are lovely, I wish I could have spent some time playing with Grannies, they look like fun.
Nedra... I love them! They are going to be beautiful in a quilt. I think, though, if you like them so much you should just make more!
Nedra they are just wonderful...go ahead...have some more fun...try a black background...ENJOY!
They are lovely. I'm working on Grannies.... and have put them aside for a while; need to slowly work into back-to-school mode.
Can't wait to see them finished!
Didn't take long for you to make 20 blocks. What's it gonna be? Wall hanging or lap throw?
Going to be so gorgeous! I love these blocks.
Those look wonderful. Aren't they fun to make? I am thinking about doing another one too as I finished my 20 and then did the sashings this weekend. I love it and it went up so quickly with the big blocks. I think the black would be really fun and would look fabulous.
Wonderful looking grannies if I might say so. I can't wait to start mine. I have been non-stop busy with various projects and that is now coming to a close thank heavens. Fabulous looking quilt top...
