Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

DWM and August OMG: Granny Square Borders

After the center was pieced on my Granny Squares top, I decided to piece the borders with the million or so leftover squares.  I KNOW this is the type of project that I will procrastinate on—calculating how many units for length, making inner coping borders, figuring out the corners—so I’m making it my OMG, One Monthly Goal.  I like this quilt too much to set it aside, but much of the remaining piecing will be mindless sewing and I won’t worry about the “how to quilt it” bridge until I get there later in the month.

    I like the pieced border. It really adds a lot to the quilt.
    Mindless piecing is good, especially late in the day.

    The border looks quite complicated to me, but it does really make the quilt shine.

    I’m glad you picked this one. I wouldn’t ever have thought to use that background, but it looks great! I like your squares border.

    Your blocks are beautiful and their colors really sparkle against the aqua background. Did you use Kona or some other brand of fabric? Do you know what color name it was?

    This is exactly the kind of thing I tend to put off too, but once you get to piecing it all together time will fly! It is a perfect summer project and I am so happy you are sharing with One Monthly Goal!
