Hello again! I can't believe it's been a week since I've posted! My summer is still in full swing around here and time gets away from me too fast. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer as much as I am. Today I wanted to show you the project that I took along with me on my camping trip. My project was inspired by a photo that I saw on Pinterest.... using 5" squares that are sewn together and then adding crochet. You know that I love to add crochet edgings on several of my fabric patterns so when I saw the photo...I was inspired and started immediately! I just kind of made up my blanket as I went along but I have now discovered that there is a tutorial by Corey@Little Miss Shabby and a flickr group and it's a crochet along as well! It's called the Fusion Blanket Crochet Along. Fabric/Crochet fused together = fun!!! I love the fact that I have been able to use up even more of my precut leftovers from Sew Cherry, Daisy Cottage and Millie's Closet. I chose to use "I Love This Cotton" yarn in 68 Aqua that I bought at Hobby Lobby. It's so soft and the color is yummy and goes with all of my fabrics...and is 100% cotton which is a big plus for me. I like to work with natural fibers as much as possible. I have several squares completed so far... they really work up fast. I did a single crochet into each buttonhole stitch and then a double crochet into each single crochet and that's all! Easy peasy. *Take note that on the corners...I did 3 stitches instead of one:) I love the scrappiness of my blanket... I put some of the squares up on my design wall together to see how they will look when I crochet them together. I will just use a single crochet stitch when joining them and I think I will leave the holes in the intersections...I like how it adds a lacy kind of look. Of course I will make the final decision on that when I join them all together:) I know that today is Tuesday... and week 5 of The Great Granny Along!!! I don't have anything new to show you yet...but Jodi has some new blocks...so go over and see them! All of the beautiful blocks and quilts that are showing up on the flickr group are just amazing!!! It's been so fun to see all of them over the last 5 weeks:) Next post...I will be showing you a sneak peek of my up coming fabric line. Until then...have a quilty kind of day:) xx Lori
