A Blue Twin Granny

 This lovely twin quilt was made following the instructions from 

MSQ.  The first step is making a pile of colored 16 patches. 



Cutting them diagonally and then sewing the quarters 

together yields an on-point style 

block quickly and easily with out triangle corners or set ins. 

Two of these were made up during a wild sewing 

zoom retreat last winter. One each in blue and yellow. 

The blue top was pinned and next in line for quilting. 


The binding was even ready!! Who said quilting fairies never visit!

Actually, I like to make binding, and had done four 

quilts worth one day! 

Never following my own advice of  "make it easy", I chose a 

quilting design with lots of starts and stops. 

 

My cutting button got a real workout!  

Then long serpentine stitch on the sashing finished it up nicely.



A soft flannel back in blue strips makes this very cuddly.  

I put in a 5 0z high loft batt, but experience has taught me that it will 

collapse after half a dozen washings, 

so I put in a 80/20 Hobbs to give it 

structure after the poly compacts. 

The variety of blue fabrics really make it fun 

to browse!


A scrappy blue binding for the granny and it is complete 

and ready for labeling when it gets called to be loved. 

It may have found a permanent home in the blue wing chair!



Stay safe and sew on!
