I dithered over the fourth border cornerstone and ended up selecting: Grandmother's Pride (pg 130 of 501 Rotary Cut Quilts). If you've been a reader for a while, you'll have seen lots of grandbaby photos. Since all the squares are tiny (1 7/8"), I had fun going thru the scrap basket of the Civil War prints I'd been saving.
You've probably seen scrappy versions of this block in Blog Land, going by the name Granny Squares. I can see why it's so popular... it's an easy and rewarding block.
What a good idea to pick those blocks wich have a meaning for you, and it are beautiful blocks too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Roos
I've been enjoying these posts about the additional blocks you chose for the Civil War quilt. Now I want the 501 quilt blocks book too!
ReplyDeleteOh man, that's one beautifully stunning block. Your fabrics are amazing. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI do like this block--------would be great as a whole quilt also. Is this for your CW quilt?
ReplyDeleteThe squares are so small--I love this block, but I wouldn't want to make a whole quilt of them this tiny. Fun to do just a few, though. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful block - a great addition to the quilt.

What a fantastic idea for the four cornerstones, they all look great. I'm now off to find the 501 blocks book!
ReplyDeleteVery nice fussy-cutting. It really made this block pop. Slowly,I am catching up on my reading.
