Glorious Granny
Glorious Granny? You mean me? Well, no.
A few days before Christmas, the postal person brought me a wonderful parcel. It wasn't a surprise. It was something I had ordered.
Liza, at Glorious Color, had posted on Facebook that there were scrap bags available. I wasted no time. Of the four possible collections, I chose three: the light, the dark, and the cool.
My attraction to the Westminster fabrics is recent enough that I don't have the feel yet of how to buy yardage. The scrap bags work just fine for me.
When the package came, considerable fondling ensued. To the extent that a couple of my Facebook friends became embarrassed by the activity reports. I sorted them in one way and then another. I really didn't know where to begin.
And then it hit me, and I knew exactly what to do with this bounty.
Granny squares!
I love the idea of traditional-looking patterns with these contemporary fabrics.
Some are Kaffe, others are what I call Kaffish, i.e., from the Westminster family but by one of the other designers.
Truth be told, I don't know one of them from the others. But that doesn't seem to matter.
I fussy cut some of the centers.
And I added a few squares cut from other fabrics that I already had.
All with robin's egg blue outermost row.
It is addictive.
My plan is for twenty blocks.
It won't take long.

I'm glad you mentioned the robin's egg blue--it looked white, but I think the blue would be perfect.
Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas.
As you might have heard, we've had a ton of rain today. Did you get snow?
Hugs!
Congratulations!!
