Miniature granny squares quilt

Here is another finish that I'd like to share were you.  This one has been done since June/25 and was going to go into the Acton Fall Fair, however I missed the deadline for that, so maybe next year....  This is a mini quilt.  All of those squares measure only 1/2".  The sashing and first border are also only 1/2".


I really enjoyed making this quilt.  The fabric selection was time consuming, as I wanted there to be pattern on the fabric, so the pattern needed to be smallish, but still have variety and not read as a solid.  The design of this quilt is a traditional pattern.  The blocks are called Grandmother's square or Granny square (two rings of coloured squares around the centre block).

Here is a close up of a square including sashing.  I'll just say that I have never, machine quilted a quilt, to this intensely on such a small scale!!!  But that was fun too!!


I did, in the past, do a Great Granny Square block quilt (three rings of coloured squares around the centre block).  This one below was NICU size.  The quilt measured 25" square.  There is just something about this block that I am drawn to.  I quilted this one on my domestic machine in a crosshatch pattern. The below quilt was donated to Project Linus back in May/2020.


Maybe eventually I'll make this in a regular quilt size.  I do enjoy making them!

Take care everyone.
