Another May finish! This quilt was started on a whim and I love it when I actually finish! After checking out Great Granny Square quilts on Pinterest and other blogs, I decided to add cornerstones and binding with a green fabric from my stash. I tried scrappy cornerstones but the same color looked best to me.
All the fabric was from my stash of 2 1/2″ or 5″ squares plus lots of white remnants. My quilting buddy, Candace, decided to set her blocks without cornerstones. Here’s a pic of hers before the binding. The background fabric is white, my indoor lighting does not do it justice!
The block quilting was inspired by a Pinterest pinner who made potholders out of her Great Granny Squares. After some trial and error, I managed to figure out a path for stitching with the longarm without having to break my thread! 
I love the stitching and did the same thing on Candace’s except for the outside edge fill.
We’ve finally got some nice weather for outside picture taking. The natural light is so much better!
I’m linking with A Stitch in Time for a May finish, check out other finishes here!
I’m working on another bucket list quilt and hopefully will finish this month, too!
Thanks! Linda 🙂
Happy Memorial Day! Here’s a recent Quilt of Valor made by Sheila. The fabric is a 2011 Moda collection and the pattern is a free download. While you may not be able to get the fabric today, I’m sure you could find something similar. Here’s a link to download the .pdf flag-of-valor
