Great Granny Sew Along Top Finish



























































































































































































I had so much fun putting this quilt together.  I can't remember the last time I enjoyed sewing this much.  Lori's patterns are so fun to make, clear to understand and I always learn a better way of piecing with each quilt pattern from Lori I make.  The only trouble I had on this quilt was choosing a border fabric.  I ripped out two different choices before deciding on this one.  The blocks are very colorful and I needed a border that wouldn't compete with the other fabrics.  I had this Lecien Flower Sugar in my stash which I had eyed before using something else.  I need to follow my instincts.  Lori is going to start another quilt along soon, so be sure to check out her wonderful blog!

Happy Sewing,

  10. I did this QAL too! I ran into the same problem on trying to pick out the border. I almost used a Lecien print too, but I used several in my blocks and borders and didn't have enough of the right color. I used a darker teal mirror polka dot to match the teal Lecien prints. I ended up loving this combo! I love yours in yellow, I really need some yellow prints.

  11. Your quilt top turned out beautifully. I completed the center block, lost my book, found it and have not had time to get back to it. I want to get back to mine right away, you have inspired me.
