And welcome all from the Blogger's Quilt Festival!
Oh how I love this quilt! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but I love this one best. Right now. In this moment.
I started this Sew Cherry granny squares quilt back during the granny square craze. Yeah, it's been a while. But life happens! As I was quilting it, I kept thinking, "Oh, that's my favorite block." "Nope, that one is." "I forgot about that pink and yellow one!" Suffice it to say, I'm a fan of them all.
I wanted to do the pieced border, and my "just-had-a-baby" addled brain was struggling with the math. But I got it figured out (not as complicated as I thought it would be!), and then I just had to bind it with the red gingham print.
We're good now, my brain and I, but back then, it was rough. Sleep helps a lot, I've found!
Checking it off the 4QFAL list.

Fabric: Sew Cherry by Lori Holt for Riley Blake

ReplyDeleteThe gingham is the perfect binding for such a fresh quilt. Great job!

ReplyDeleteI love everything about this quilt, but especially the quilted flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt - I made one with the same pattern earlier in the year with a different border - not quilted yet, - it is such a nice pattern for scraps isn't it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Or should I say Cherry cute!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennie! I love your quilt and it's now my favourite, too! Your squares look small and that makes the pattern look really cute! Each block is the best! I love your sweet colours and lot of white. Binding and quilting looks fantastic! x Teje
ReplyDeleteHi Jennie! I'm not sure if my comment disappeared. But again I love your quilt and it's my favourite, too! Each block is the best, wonderful colours and binding if perfect! x Teje
ReplyDeleteWell, Jennie... She's a big beauty! Love the pieced border you added and that gingham binding. What a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright, slightly modern, slightly vintage vibe.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've fitted the quilting to the fabrics and blocks. Beautiful quilt.

ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness. I love this too!!! Granny Squares have been on my mind for a while and I think you just gave me one more push towards translating that into more than a thought.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics, and the colours.
I love granny squares, and this one is delightful right to the edge with the gingham binding. Every time I see a granny square afghan, I decide I have to make the pattern with fabric, but I never have. Thanks for making and sharing this so I can enjoy looking at it.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I've been wanting to make a granny square quilt and I love your version :)
ReplyDeleteI love granny square quilts and I love all the colors in this one.So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love all of this! Great job on that border, I'm still trying to figure out how you did it! I, too, have a stack of granny squares from the 'craze'. Your quilt made me anxious to get back to them!
ReplyDeleteLove the cheerful fabrics and the design!
ReplyDeleteI love this! So happy, and the granny squares are great with all the little cherries. Great job on the border and the gingham binding - love.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I've wanted to make one for ages - but every time I bring it up around Paul he says he doesn't like them and then I put it off again. But yours is gorgeous and I really really like your border - good work addled brain!! Totally worth putting it through the tough thinking at the time :)
