Friday Tuts – Granny Square Block Tutorial

If you’ve been eyeing Midsummery, today’s your If you’ve been eyeing Midsummery, today’s your last chance to pre-order! This is one of the prettiest, sunniest fabric lines I’ve worked with. And I couldn’t resist making something fast and fun with it.This is my Good Girl quilt pattern, but reversed! I used Midsummery for the background and kept the foreground in simple whites. Nothing fancy, just a relaxing, easy quilt top that came together in two days.Fabrics: MidsummeryPattern: Good Girl

I am so into that periwinkle!I’m using it in a Good Girl quilt right now and just finished all the blocks. Did them all in one day. That’s how you know I was into it. Can’t wait to get this one stitched up.
Lately I’ve been reminding myself that things do Lately I’ve been reminding myself that things don’t have to happen fast to be good. Letting things unfold in their own way without pushing. There’s a peace in the slow parts. And a lot of learning, too. 🩵 This is my Dilly Dally quilt in Tiny Terrazzo fabrics. Soft colors, scattered prints, and a joy in every block. It came together at a steady pace, and I loved every minute of the process.
