Here is Nancy's Batik quilt!
The binding is finished and it's returning to her tonight.
She saw the free motion daisy quilting this past week and was happy, so I was happy too ~
~the flowers actually run from top to bottom, not side to side~

We chose this light blue damask print for the backing of the Great Granny quilt.
can you see the seam? Another happy moment, *vbg*
I'm sharing my "thumbnail" measurements for the Great Granny finish, for those of you who wanted them:
- Follow Lori Holt's directions to complete the 12 1/2" Great Granny blocks, make 20 blocks.
- sashing between the 20 center granny blocks: 2 by 12 1/2" cut, 2" square cornerstones.
- sashing around center, framing the 20 blocks : 2 7/8" cut (almost 3")
- Pieced border construction: the leftover 2 1/2" color squares, sandwiched between 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" background rectangles. 24 color squares on sides, 19 color sq. on top/bottom. The border was trimmed to 4 1/4" afterward.
- floating cornerstones: 3 1/4" center cut, 4 1/2" cut background squares, cut into hst's, trimmed down to 4 1/4 inch to fit the pieced border.
- final border: cut 4"
- finished top: 86 1/2" by 72 1/2"
Hope this helps, glad to share ~

Love your granny square quilt. I think I have some of those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteAnd those batiks! Ooh, la, la!
Great work. Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation.
Oops, forgot to mention, love that quilting pattern too!
Great sharing this afternoon. Love Nancy's Batik and that great quilting. And oh my what's not to love about the Granny quilt? Good info you shared as well. Super quilt. Huge inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the measurements, they will be helpful as I keep plugging away on mine. I have 10 blocks done but I plan on a 7 x 7 layout so I have 39 to go. Since seeing your border the other day, I've already started making my border using the pieces as my starters and enders.
ReplyDeleteYour daisy quilting looks great! Love the blue for the back of your Granny Square quilt. Enjoy the rest of your "away from the school" time.
