granny square quilt along.

if you like hanging out in the online sewing+quilting community as much i do, you have most certainly came across this granny square quilt from Blue Elephant Stitches. doesn't it just rock? when i first saw Jolene's quilt i was instantly attracted to it's fresh, crisp, modern feel. it's a spin on the traditional crochet pattern that i love so much! 

well did you all hear that the granny square quilt is the next Old Red Barn Co. QAL? i'm so excited! ever since meeting Dana at Sewing Summit, i've wanted to join in one of her famous QALs and this Granny Square QAL seems like a perfect opportunity to start!

granny square QAL fabrics.


here's the fabrics i will be using! i've chose a fun and cheery combination of pinks, greens, yellows, blues, and oranges and will be pairing it with Kona White. i think my spring fever is starting to pop up in my sewing+quilting! :) 

so far i have 6 blocks done and i can't wait to start sharing them with you this week! hope you all had a great weekend!
xo, megan.

    Yes, I have been wanting to do the granny squares. A QAL, you say? As much as I shouldn't say this, I will anyway: count me in!

    Hi Megan! First - I love your fabrics! I hope you will tell what and from they are; they have amazing beautiful colours! Second: granny quilt is perfect idea! I love crochet grannies and have made some grannie blankets. I would love to join this quilt along! Your quilt with those colours and white, is going to be the best!
    Have a great week! x Teje
