When I first began this quilt, I did so with the intention of doing one block at a time. No rush, just enjoy the journey. Somehow these fabrics have such a calming affect on me and this is one of those projects that I know will take a while. (You can see my block tutorial here.)
It has been "one of those weeks" and so my comfort quilt to be came back out of the box and is being put together.
There are granny square block tutorials all over the web (my very favorite being Lori's great granny block - true love I tell ya). My granny square makes a large block (13.5" unfinished) with only the two contrasting fabrics, plus the background in a neutral. I wanted a very simple and soft on the eyes look. I created my little tutorial to show how you can get by with just the right amount of fabric and no waste. This quilt is made up of a layer cake, a charm pack, plus yardage in a solid.
This is my silly cat Easter. He is my shadow and biggest snuggler. Nothing beats a good nap with a soft and chubby cat during a long day!
I hope you are having a wonderful week. Thank you for coming to my blog for a visit. xoxo
