The Granny Patch quilt pattern is finally in the shop and I'm back to share about another sample! And it's such a good one, my friends! By now, you've seen the Cover Granny Patch quilt, the 70s Velvet inspired Granny patch quilt and I'm calling this one 80s Party. :) . . I'm no stranger to a quilt with a dark charcoal background. In fact, I would argue that it's my preferred background color, A- because it's practical, as far as keeping it clean and such; and B- because I think it makes the other fabrics look better. It's practically a science...tones are richer, color are more distinct. If you're curious for examples, here's a list of quilts that I've made in the past with darker backgrounds. Click through to see what I mean! Enchanted Church Window - Kona Gotham Grey Cover Homecoming - AGF Magnetism Cover Knitted Star - Kona Gotham Grey Kismet Nightingale - AGF Magnetism Pink & Purple Knitted Star - AGF Magnetism Cover Deco - AGF Magnetism Honey Summer Pop - Bella Charcoal Dusty Merlot Nightingale - AGF Magnetism Palette Picks Nightingale - Essex Charcoal by Robert Kaufman Palette Picks Church Window - Kona Gotham Grey Two-Tone Mosaic Star quilt - AGF Magnetism It's pretty eye-opening to list out these quilts! I knew I liked charcoal, but maybe didn't realize just how much, haha. But needless to say, Granny Patch is another one of those quilts that just looks SO good with a darker background. I think it's something about having background space around each individual piece of Foreground fabric...means that the Background plays SUCH an important role in the over all look of your quilt. . . If you missed our announcement on Wednesday, we are so excited to offer digital coloring pages for the VERY first time. We've partnered with PreQuilt to bring you a FREE digital coloring page experience so that you can plan your quilt with confidence and bring your fabric ideas to life. Through PreQuilt, you can use their pre-loaded solid fabric swatches (hello Kona & AGF), randomize colors, and try new ideas so that you have a quilt plan before you get started. (There's also a paid version if you'd like to save your ideas, upload prints and more!) 🎨 We are so excited to offer this for Granny Patch! Let us know what you think and if you'd like to see it for other patterns as well! . . But back to this 1980s sample! It's a Small Throw, so 56
Granny Square Quilt Blocks are easy to make and remind you of crocheted granny squares.
As outlined here in Part 1 of this tutorial, your intended layout and fabric selections will be used to determine how to make your granny squares quilt. If your layout will be with sashing, you will make BLOCKS. If your layout will be without sashing, you will make ROWS. BLOCKS are made using any of these three methods: Individual Squares Strips Only No waste ROWS are made using either of these two methods: Individual Squares Strips Method MAKING BLOCKS: These instructions will be using 2.5" squares or strips to make the blocks. If you are looking to use up scraps, individual squares can be used. Or you can use strips from a jelly roll or cut from yardage. Use one of the following three methods to make blocks for a layout using sashing. INDIVIDUAL SQUARES: To make blocks using individual squares, you will need (12) 2.5" background squares and (13) 2.5" squares for the rings. Arrange the squares as shown. Sew the squares into columns, as shown below. Sew the columns together and press the seams toward the outside edges. Trim the block square, leaving 1/4" of background beyond the tips of the last ring of squares. STRIPS: Jelly Roll strips can be used or you can cut your strips from yardage. Each width of fabric strip will yield one block. So if your jelly roll has 20 strips, you will have 20 blocks. Step 1 - Separate your 20 strips into two piles of 10 strips each; one pile for the inner and one pile for the outer ring. Cut each of the inner strips into (1) 10.5" and (3) 5.5" pieces Cut each of the outer strips into (3) 10.5" and (2) 5.5" pieces Step 2 - Arrange the inner strips into 10 piles of (1) 10.5" strip and only (2) 5.5" strips. Step 3 - Add to those piles all of the coordinating outer strips. Step 4 - Now use the remaining (10) 5.5" inner strips to the piles. Step 5 - You will also require yardage for the background strips. To ensure there is ample fabric for squaring up the completed blocks, the background fabric is cut into 3" strips. Cut (16) 3" strips of background fabric. Crosscut into (40) 10.5", (20) 5.5" strips and (40) 3" squares. Arrange your strips from one pile as shown and sew the strips into a set. Press the seams. Step 6 - Square up each edge and cut onto 2.5" strips, as shown. Step 7 - Arrange your strips sets into two blocks and add (4) background squares to the sides. Sew the strips sets together and press. You should press all your seams toward the outside of the block, but I like to press my seams open. Step 8 - Square up the blocks, ensuring that there is at least 1/4" of background fabric beyond the points of the outer ring. Here are the results using this method. NO WASTE: For this method, follow the instructions for the strip method for Steps 1 to 4. But for the no waste method the background fabric will be cut into triangles to avoid the waste. For each of the ten piles of strips, you will require (4) squares cut into four triangles, to make 16 large triangles and (4) squares cut diagonally once, to make 8 small triangles. But how big do the squares need to be? For the large background square, take the size of the finished squares in your granny block. Each will measure 2" square when finished. Multiply by 1.414 and then add 1 and 1/4". 2" multiplied by 1.414 plus 1 and 1/4" 2" multiplied by 1.414 = 2.828 1 and 1/4 = 1.25 2.828 plus 1.25 = 4.078 4.078 (Rounded up) is approximately 4 and 1/8" For the small background square, take the size of the finished squares in your granny block. Each will measure 2" square when finished. Divide by 1.414 and then add 7/8". 2" divided by 1.414 plus 7/8" 2" divided by 1.414 = 1.414 7 divided by 8 = .875 1.414 plus .875 = 2.285 2.285 (Rounded up) is approximately 2 and 3/8" Cut (four) 4 and 1/8" background strips and crosscut each of them into 4 and 1/8" squares, for a total of 40 squares. Cut these squares diagonally twice. Cut (three) 2 and 3/8" background strips and crosscut each of them into 2 and 3/8" squares, for a total of 40 squares. Cut these squares diagonally once. Arrange your strips from one set, as shown below. You will need to cut one of your 10.5" outer ring strips into (4) 2.5" squares. In this photo, the incorrect amount of background fabric triangles are shown. For each of the ten piles of strips, you will need (16) large triangles and (8) small triangles. Sew the strip sets together. Sew the large triangles to the sides of the 2.5" squares, as shown below. Press all seams as you go. Trim the strip sets into 2.5" columns. And sew the small triangles onto the 2.5" squares as shown. Sew (8) large triangles onto the ends of the 3 piece rows. Sew (4) small triangles onto the ends of the 5 piece rows. Sew the rows together to make the blocks. Square up the blocks, ensuring that there is at least 1/4" of background fabric beyond the points of the outer ring. MAKING ROWS: These instructions will be using 2.5" squares or strips to make the rows. If you are looking to use up scraps, individual squares can be used. Or you can use strips from a jelly roll or cut from yardage. Use one of the following three methods to make blocks for a layout without using sashing. As you can see in this mock layout of granny squares used to make a quilt without sashing, the traditional block method results in a lot of unnecessary piecing between the blocks. HOWEVER, if you will notice the darker lines drawn along the diagonal rows in the top left of this same diagram below, you will see that this quilt could be pieced using the individual columns made using the block method and some whole squares for the background squares between the blocks. INDIVIDUAL SQUARES: To make quilt using individual squares, arrange the squares as shown, in the block making method at the top of this tutorial. Sew the squares into the diagonal rows. Then sew the diagonal rows together. Trim the entire quilt top square once complete. STRIPS: Jelly Roll strips can be used or you can cut your strips from yardage. Each width of fabric strip will yield one block. So if your jelly roll has 20 strips, you will have 20 blocks. For this method, follow the instructions for the block making strip method for Steps 1 to 4, at the top of this tutorial. Perform Step 5 without the background strips, and trim as in Step 6, making the strip sets of 5, strip sets of 3 and individual 2.5" squares. Arrange these strip sets and squares as shown in the above layout. Add individual 2.5" squares of background fabric between the strip sets and at the quilt edges. Sew the strip sets and background squares for each diagonal row together. Then sew the rows together. Trim the entire quilt top square once complete. I do hope this tutorial will encourage you to make a granny quilt - of some kind! Keep On Quilting On!
Meet Granny Patch! A modern patchwork take on the traditional crocheted granny square. . I've had this design in my head and drafted on my computer for a few years now. I've played with it a little here and a little there and I decided last fall that this would be the first Lo & Behold pattern of 2023. Better yet, we would officially release it on my Granny's birthday, March 15th. This cozy, vintage inspired quilt evokes all the warm nostalgic feelings and is probably one of my favorite recent Lo & Behold quilt patterns. :) It's a mix and match type pattern so you have lots of opportunity to create different combinations and have fun with it. You're going to love sewing this together! . One thing that I love about Granny Patch (if I do say so myself) is that the blocks are strip pieced, meaning you are NOT dealing with individual squares of fabric. Instead, you're sewing strips together in a certain order then cutting them apart to create the rows of your blocks. (Can I get an amen??) There are also nesting seams so you don't have to fuss or stress about everything perfectly lining up as you are sewing. It really is a fun block to assemble! . . . I don't know about you, but I always love seeing crocheted afghans and blankets folded up on the back of a chair or at the foot of a bed. I wish I could say that I had an heirloom afghan that inspired this quilt, but after watching all seasons of Parks & Rec about 10 times, seeing one on the back of Ann's couch over and over definitely made me fall in love with the granny square. Then when we moved to Black Mountain and started leasing studio space above the Black Mountain Yarn Shop, I found myself surrounded by even more granny squares, which got me that much more excited about having a

Well friends, I'm back with yet another Granny Patch sample and this time, we're going small with the baby size. Everyone, meet the Campfire color-way! . . My aim for this quilt was to be a little more toned down and muted and I think we hit the nail on the head! I actually kind of regret not making this quilt larger, since I love these colors so much...but it was actually really great to have a small quick project. Overall, I really love the end result! . . This quilt was a part of the testing process as I was writing Granny Patch. The baby size is slightly different from the rest in the sense that you'll have some colors repeat in the blocks. According to the pattern, each block has 5 colors, but with the baby there will be at least one block that only has 4. It's not a big deal at all, but if you're someone who wants more variety, you could add an extra quarter yard or FQ to the mix. This means you'll have some waste, which is ultimately why we decided against it in the pattern, but know that it's an option. :) With this quilt, we made it exactly according to the pattern and I think it turned out perfectly! . . . Kara (@hollandhomesteaddesigns), our Community Manager pieced the quilt top and I was SO eager and excited to quilt it. I don't know about you, but quilting smaller projects is my FAVORITE. It takes so much less time (and stress) to baste and the quilting process is over soon after it begins. It's a quick win, which always gets me jazzed! . . . . . . . . . Fabrics used for this Granny Patch quilt top are all Robert Kaufman Kona solids: Foreground: Graphite, Cedar, Sea Mist, White Background: Fog For this quilt, I didn't have any batting that was big enough, so I pieced two smaller batting scraps together using a zigzag stitch. I need to do this more often...my scrap batting bin is overflowing and I need to put it all to good use! Do you do this? I shared an IG Reel of the process and a few of you chimed in and said that you combine batting scraps using fusible table. Smart! . . The last page of the pattern has two bonus quilting ideas. I say

I actually kind of regret not making this quilt larger, since I love these colors so much...but it was actually really great to have a small quick project. Overall, I really love the end result! . . This quilt was a part of the testing process as I was writing Granny Patch. The baby size is slightly different from the rest in the sense that you'll have some colors repeat in the blocks. According to the pattern, each block has 5 colors, but with the baby there will be at least one block that only has 4. It's not a big deal at all, but if you're someone who wants more variety, you could add an extra quarter yard or FQ to the mix. This means you'll have some waste, which is ultimately why we decided against it in the pattern, but know that it's an option. :) With this quilt, we made it exactly according to the pattern and I think it turned out perfectly! . . . Kara (@hollandhomesteaddesigns), our Community Manager pieced the quilt top and I was SO eager and excited to quilt it. I don't know about you, but quilting smaller projects is my FAVORITE. It takes so much less time (and stress) to baste and the quilting process is over soon after it begins. It's a quick win, which always gets me jazzed! . . . . . . . . . Fabrics used for this Granny Patch quilt top are all Robert Kaufman Kona solids: Foreground: Graphite, Cedar, Sea Mist, White Background: Fog For this quilt, I didn't have any batting that was big enough, so I pieced two smaller batting scraps together using a zigzag stitch. I need to do this more often...my scrap batting bin is overflowing and I need to put it all to good use! Do you do this? I shared an IG Reel of the process and a few of you chimed in and said that you combine batting scraps using fusible table. Smart! . . The last page of the pattern has two bonus quilting ideas. I say

Meet Granny Patch! A modern patchwork take on the traditional crocheted granny square. . I've had this design in my head and drafted on my computer for a few years now. I've played with it a little here and a little there and I decided last fall that this would be the first Lo & Behold pattern of 2023. Better yet, we would officially release it on my Granny's birthday, March 15th. This cozy, vintage inspired quilt evokes all the warm nostalgic feelings and is probably one of my favorite recent Lo & Behold quilt patterns. :) It's a mix and match type pattern so you have lots of opportunity to create different combinations and have fun with it. You're going to love sewing this together! . One thing that I love about Granny Patch (if I do say so myself) is that the blocks are strip pieced, meaning you are NOT dealing with individual squares of fabric. Instead, you're sewing strips together in a certain order then cutting them apart to create the rows of your blocks. (Can I get an amen??) There are also nesting seams so you don't have to fuss or stress about everything perfectly lining up as you are sewing. It really is a fun block to assemble! . . . I don't know about you, but I always love seeing crocheted afghans and blankets folded up on the back of a chair or at the foot of a bed. I wish I could say that I had an heirloom afghan that inspired this quilt, but after watching all seasons of Parks & Rec about 10 times, seeing one on the back of Ann's couch over and over definitely made me fall in love with the granny square. Then when we moved to Black Mountain and started leasing studio space above the Black Mountain Yarn Shop, I found myself surrounded by even more granny squares, which got me that much more excited about having a

The Granny Patch quilt pattern is finally in the shop and I'm back to share about another sample! And it's such a good one, my friends! By now, you've seen the Cover Granny Patch quilt, the 70s Velvet inspired Granny patch quilt and I'm calling this one 80s Party. :) . . I'm no stranger to a quilt with a dark charcoal background. In fact, I would argue that it's my preferred background color, A- because it's practical, as far as keeping it clean and such; and B- because I think it makes the other fabrics look better. It's practically a science...tones are richer, color are more distinct. If you're curious for examples, here's a list of quilts that I've made in the past with darker backgrounds. Click through to see what I mean! Enchanted Church Window - Kona Gotham Grey Cover Homecoming - AGF Magnetism Cover Knitted Star - Kona Gotham Grey Kismet Nightingale - AGF Magnetism Pink & Purple Knitted Star - AGF Magnetism Cover Deco - AGF Magnetism Honey Summer Pop - Bella Charcoal Dusty Merlot Nightingale - AGF Magnetism Palette Picks Nightingale - Essex Charcoal by Robert Kaufman Palette Picks Church Window - Kona Gotham Grey Two-Tone Mosaic Star quilt - AGF Magnetism It's pretty eye-opening to list out these quilts! I knew I liked charcoal, but maybe didn't realize just how much, haha. But needless to say, Granny Patch is another one of those quilts that just looks SO good with a darker background. I think it's something about having background space around each individual piece of Foreground fabric...means that the Background plays SUCH an important role in the over all look of your quilt. . .
