I have a new quilt project I would like to start but I keep getting sidetracked. When I saw Becky's jumbo granny squares I just had to make a block which then led to another block which led to another block . . . you know how it goes.
I thought I had the pattern memorized so I didn't look at the master pattern when I arranged these 2 blocks. The corners are incorrect but I'm not changing them, call it artistic license!
There will be sashing and cornerstones in between the blocks. The blocks finish at 18", I only need 12 blocks to make a throw.
I've been using some older greens and brown in these blocks. Gives me a sense of satisfaction to be using them finally after all these years.
Daffodils are blooming, I have several varieties around the farm.
The grape hyacinths are starting to pop up too.
The cows are so happy to be out on pasture again.

I love those granny blocks! And I think the corners on those two blocks will introduce a little variety into the pattern - they're fun! Thanks for sharing the pictures of the flowers and cows - I love them!!
I wouldn't have noticed the "mistake" it really isn't that noticeable except to those that really seem to look for these things.
Hi Gretchen! Those large blocks make quick work for a good sized throw! And nothing too difficult is nice as well. ~smile~ Roseanne
I wouldn't have taken them out either. If anyone does notice, they have too much time on their hands! LOL
Those blocks are just great, Gretchen! I can see why you just kept making them. My flower garden looks like yours right now - daffodils and grape hyacinths. Such pretty colors together!
I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told us! Lovely blocks, a great idea for a throw or bed quilt. Thanks for linking up today!
Beautiful blocks, and I love your artistic license, it's going to make pretty corners ;)
Beautiful quilt! Thanks for the inspiration!
You will make a beautiful quilt with those blocks.
What is the size of each finished block?
I still have 2 1/2 inch squares that I need to find a good project for.
Lovely blocks! I also love the photos of the daffodils and those sweet cows. They look so content. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Love your happy cows , Oh and the quilts are nice too!
I am working on a quilt like that, sweet blue blocks I couldn't resist!
Stay safe and sew on !
Your blocks are beautiful and it will make a lovely quilt. I wouldn't sweat the corners either. Thank you for linking up last week.
