Sassy Grannies – #7 – Anthologie Quilt Along
By now our Anthologie quilts are really coming together and huge chunks are getting completed. There’s not too much left to do! All the hard parts are behind us. This week we are tackling the Sassy Grannies. There’s three of these babies and they are made with just basic straight line sewing with no fuss.

Our Task
There are three Sassy Granny blocks. It’s a bigger block with a lot of seams! Make sure that you are using the 1/4″ seam allowance just so on this block to insure everything comes out to size. Do pay attention to the orientation of the blocks as well if you are using directional prints. I’ve put the vertical blocks on the outside to keep from having to do any lining up of the seams, so just make sure you notice that little tidbit and make things a bit easier on yourself.
There’s also a bit of section building this round. By the end of this week, you should have three chunks of the quilt completed.

Lovely, the colors are gorgeous. I’m inspired to try the big stitch binding technique.
