Granny Square Quilt To The Scrap Pile Rescue

 

 

These are 2.5 inch squares. They are cut from scraps, or use your larger pieces of left over fabric.

You can also use Jelly Rolls or Charm Packs, cut into Quarters, or forget the cutting and use a Mini Charm Pack.

Of course you could also focus on all those 2 1/2 strips left over from other projects.

If you need some ideas on how to turn your stash and scraps into squares you can look HERE for some additional ideas.

Photos and Hints are provided by: Blue Elephant Stitches.

 For one block, here’s what you’ll need:

12 – 2.5″ squares of background color (Kona Snow)

8 – 2.5″ squares of print or solid scraps in your chosen color for the outer ring

5 – 2.5″ squares of print or solid scraps in your chosen color for the inner ring

Below are the 2.5 inch squares sewn together in rows. Next step is to sew the rows together to form the granny square block.

 

Square up your block by trimming the sides. Make sure you leave a 1/4 inch between the point of the color squares as you cut .

You can also watch some additional instructions on how to square up your block HERE.

Blocks line up on a design board prior to adding sashing, and boarder, to the make the Granny Square Quilt Top.

    I saw this a few months ago and added it to my list of “want to make” quilts. A great way to use up scraps. I love to crochet “granny squares”– now I can “sew” them too.

    I have some orphan pieces of this pattern from my great-grandmother, which I have not made into a quilt because I’m afraid the new fabric would tear the old fabric.

    I sincerely hope that “them rows” is a typo and not a grammatical error.
