Meet Giant Granny Square:

I first made a Giant Granny Square quilt when my oldest was a baby. It was when granny square quilt blocks were all the rage! But I was too lazy to make a lot of blocks for a baby quilt, so I made one that was extra big. lol.

I added some large hand quilting and I LOVE it!

It wasn’t until I was pregnant with my youngest that I revisited this pattern and finally made it into a pattern.

I didn’t know about the setting triangles the first time I made it, so the pattern has some improvements from my original quilt.

Other Giant Granny Square options:

Here are some other layout ideas if you want to make larger quilts with the pattern on repeat.

I think the second one would make the perfect picnic blanket!

What do you think??

This is one of my few patterns that is not foundation pieced. The pattern includes lots of tips for choosing colors, and tips for quicker assembly AND how to make it totally scrappy.

I hope you like it! I’d love to see what you make!

I’d love to hear what you think!

One step closer to a finished quilt!! 🙌🤸‍♀️🎉

I took my chances and basted this the other evening just as a storm was rolling in. 😬 I finished just as it got dark. And just as I felt the first few rain drops.

Now that the kids are back in school, I'm optimistic that I'll have so much more time to quilt. But I'm not sure that reality is going to fall in line with that. 😂😭🙏🤞

Pattern uses a single template on repeat from my Rockstar pattern.
Fabrics are random prints from my stash and @konacotton solids.

This is for my oldest who picked out the colors and collaborated a little on the design. He's grown so tall I hope it'll be long enough. 😆

I ordered more thread from @mettler_thread a few days ago and will get started quilting as soon as it arrives! 🫶🙌

My rows of letters are complete and now onto the scrappy sashing! Almost done! 🙌 I think the cat has already claimed the quilt... As much as I've tried to take him off, he finds a way to get back on. I think I have 100 photos of all the times he's tried to sleep on the different sections. 😸😼

Does this make him an official quilting cat?! 😹

My cat and dog were sleeping on the otherside of the bed so I couldn't spread them out. 😆

I cut batting for 4 quilt tops and ALMOST made it before the cat came... Who then kept attacking the batting roll. 🤣

I pulled out some more quilt tops to prep for basting and when I came home today I found my cat quite at home on them. Typical cat... 🙄😂🥰

First finish for 2024! 🎉🙌

I spent the past 4 days finishing the quilting on this quilt and finished the last of the binding a few hours ago. ❤️

This is my son's bed quilt, and I'm so excited to finally have it finished. He helped me design it and picked the colors about 6 years ago. 😬😬 hooray for one project off the WIP pile!! 😉

Remember when we used to always share the most random boring awful photos of what we were doing (was it "WYD"? I don't even remember.😂)

Well, here's one of those for old times sake. 🤣

Now that my fabric and my machine are in my room, I look at them all the time. 👀 Tonight I decided to pull out this pattern I almost finished earlier this year.

I'll be making it for my daughter's bed quilt, so I'm aptly naming it "Mabel". 🥰

I collected all the #ErinMcmorris fabrics I could find years ago and have been saving them for this. I'm excited to start cutting into them! 😍

What are you doing right now?? I mean, WYD? 😂🤣 Let me know in the comments! 🫶
