I hope you've enjoyed seeing all the fabulous, drool worthy projects from the Summer Twilight Blot Hop! I want to leave you with one more temptation!
So what do you do when you have a stack of "bonus" HST units (these were left from making Taffy Twirl)? BTW - they are all smaller than 2"!
The first thing you do is to press them all and trim them down to size! As one follower said, that's a LOT of work! It is - but well worth it!
And then you stitch them up into a project! Welcome Little Granny!
Why Little Granny? Little Granny is what my husband's family called his great grandmother. She was a tiny little thing, much smaller than her daughter (aka Granny). And I thought it was the perfect name for this tiny little quilt that is a miniature version of my larger quilt, Granny Squares (named after my grandmother's crocheted afghans).
Here is Granny Squares - which has three size options (Crib (36" x 42"), Lap (48" x 56") and Large Lap (60" x 70"). Want to make it? I know it is tempting - and fun and easy! You can grab a copy here!
Little Granny also offers three size options - but they are much smaller! You can stitch up Little Granny in 12" x 14" (I know - super small using 1" HST), 18" x 21" or 24" x 28". Think about all of those bonus HST units left over from other projects. Or all those scraps you have that can now be turned into HST units for this project! Talk about scrap friendly!
Ready to bust some of your scraps, or put some of those HST units to good use? Or if you are making Taffy Twirl, you can use the "bonus" units to make Little Granny! You can grab a copy of Little Granny here!
I asked this in Monday's blog post..which is your favorite fabric from the line? And which is your favorite quilt? I so enjoy hearing what other people favor, because it is often very different from what I lean towards. That's the fun and beauty of quilting, right? Something for everyone?
You've made it this far - so guess what? I'm going to draw one person's name from all the blog comments and that person will win a pdf copy of Taffy Twirl AND Southerly! Comments will close Friday night, May 12th.
Ok enough about me! Other designer pals played around with Summer Twilight as well! Take a peek at their creations by visiting their blogs. The schedule and links are below!
