Day 12 - I have all my grannies !!

11/7/2014

13 Comments

 
YAY all the ends are sewn in and I am ready to join WOO HOOOOO 
The row on the right hand side are left overs, I will have 13 x 13 squares and I have 9 left over just in case I need to swap a few around :) When I started making the granny squares I didn't have a number in my head that I wanted to make, I just kept making them.... the pile on the side of the couch (sofa/settee) was getting bigger and bigger and then I got to that point of  **If I make another granny square I think I may just go crazy** That is when I knew it was time to stop :) 

I really enjoyed making all the square's, it was not for a video so there was no RUSH to get it finished, the colors were so much fun to put together and I tried to use colors that i would normally put together 

I will be using this blanket as color inspiration when I get stuck, so many different combinations 

My rules when I was making the squares - hmm rules sounds to strict, more like guidelines 
1) I could not put a dark color next to another dark color
2) No white and cream in the same square 
3) Try not to make any 2 squares the same 

I did the square in stages - I would make a stack of centers, about 20 or until I sick of making them heehee then I would do all the second rounds, then all the third rounds .... and the I would repeat the process :)
I averaged about 40 squares every 2 days - Looking after mum was a full time thing, being the taxi to and from appointments, cooking and helping around the house.... there were also many hours of just sitting with mum and chatting, I cant sit and chat and do nothing so the granny squares were a great way to pass the time

Beautiful. Love colourful granny squares. When I make something like this, I like to avoid white/cream or black. I find they are too much of a contrast to the other colours so would prefer to keep white and black for borders and joining. But I have learned (finally) that all colours go together!

I had not done any granny squares for a long, long, long time, then I ran across you. And my love with the granny square has started again. Love your blanket! Can't wait to see how it turns out, it looks lovely. Hope your Mum is doing great!
