in the form of granny square pillows. This plump pair are not my usual toss cushion size.

| Inspiration for making these mini grannies came from Jolene - thanks Jolene! (click here for her block tutorial) |
It's so gratifying to be able to use those tiny bits of treasured fabrics. You know how much I love me a good ole scrap busting project! lol
 |
| I pieced 1.5" squares to make my mini grannies. |
I'm loving all those bright colours!
 |
| No two blocks are alike! |
 |
| Self made piping and flanges frame the grannies, adding a simple finish to the pillows. |

These are absolutely darling! I'm curious though...your block construction looks a little different with the 3 white blocks in the corners...did you make them differently to the original?
ReplyDeleteAdorable. You can never go wrong with a white background.....it has a vintage quilt look which I love. Beautiful as always:)
ReplyDeleteThese two scrap bustin' pillows are absolutely delightful! If this is the indication of your makeover in progress, you are going to have an awesome room!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such tiny grannies. Your pillows are lovely! Your room is going to be gorgeous.
ReplyDeletelove the piping, the pillows the colour...well everything...
ReplyDeleteSpectacular pillows and they are trimmed in the perfect color to compliment the little squares.
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take to make one square.
I almost have all my material ready to make my quilt but time to do it is not right just yet!
I love them! That kind of block has been calling for me, I only wish the days were longer...
ReplyDeleteOG Katherine, your work is so amazing perfect and so lovely and all those plans..... Do you sleep at night or are you sewing????
ReplyDeleteyour pillows are gorgeous!! I've been telling myself that I need to do a granny quilt but I think I'm going to go big with mine. Everytime I see a granny project it pushes me a little closer to doing mine :)
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine! I love your pillows with small grannies! Good Luck! x Teje
ReplyDeleteFresh and perky! Love how you added the piping and flange.
ReplyDeleteI just love these pillows. I did some squares this size against a black background. You just can't go wrong with granny squares!
ReplyDeleteThese are absoultely fabulous! And what a treat to have all those treasured bits included in a project that will always be close at hand (I can't stand tossing little bits either!). So nice.
