I'm making a quilt for on of the wee man's little friends, one that she can use in the garden so I wanted to avoid white solids if possible. Evie's mum asked for a kind of retro/vintage feel so I pulled some fabric and thought Granny Squares! Here's how far I've got....
As part of the Charm About You Fugly Swap over at Lucy's, I received some Melody Miller scraps which I have used as centre square in each block - thank you lovely Amy for indulging my MM obsession! I had some Kona Ash hanging around so went with that for the solid and I am pretty happy with things so far. I'm going to add a dark blue and whitish square and probably a green floral with pink too. The final quilt will have 16 blocks and some sashing - I'm thinking a thin white sash between the blocks and Ash for the borders to take it up to 40ish inches. Do you think that the white will work?

They are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think they are perfect for your brief.
I also think the thin white will be great and make the quilt pop in a fab way.
Who on earth called MM fugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the granny blocks and the MM centres :)
