Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know I've designed a new grannysquare. Today I made a chart pattern for you guys to use. ...
There are certain designs that will never bore me, this design is one of them! Not just the design, but the explosion of color never disappoints. I added a border to the outside of this one in a medium gray, have it pinned and hopefully today will be quilting time! HST blocks are pretty simple and basic, but there are so many options when it comes to layouts. Granted this quilt is the kitchen sink of colors, but even when using a limited color scheme it can be quite dynamic! Once or twice a year I cut 2 - 4 squares from just about every solid I have in my stash and then make an enormous stack of half square triangles in every color combination imaginable. See that little black case in the photo? That's my treasure box! I keep my HSTs inside and when the mood strikes...I grab it and make this quilt or a baby quilt in no time at all. The key to this design is pairing four shades of one color to make a square. At this stage it looks a lot like a hot mess and it's hard to figure out what the heck is going on. By adding the centers in each corner of the blocks it lets your eyes focus on the color groupings. Otherwise it would be pretty overwhelming! I use different center colors for each block and press the seams so that I can nest them together for a nice fit! I always make my HSTs oversize so that I can trim them to whatever size I need. And I press my HST seams to one side! This is because I trim using the Bloc_Loc ruler. It has a channel in the center that locks on to the seam allowing fast and accurate trimming. Honestly if it wasn't for this ruler I don't think I'd have a suitcase full of HSTs! By cutting and pairing so many squares together, I always have a huge selection of colors to work with. I've been making this design for years. While many people don't like to repeat designs, I can't help it when it comes to this one. Each one is different in the end. I don't have set rules for color, squares or even quilting. Much as I love it, this time while I was making it I started thinking of other options! And we all know there are times when that can be dangerous! I couldn't help it and I jumped into another project practically before the last pin snapped into place on my quilt sandwich! Sneak peek! It'll have a gray background...but wait there's more! Sorry you'll have to wait for a bit to see that one! I gotta a lot of quilting to do!
