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.
