Here we are again with another fabulous Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy@
I have chosen to enter
Who's Your Granny? festival entry #81
I did this quilt as part of The Great Granny Along hosted by Lori, and Jodi.
We used the very popular granny blocks, adding an extra round!

The fabric I used is Flea Market Fancy & Katie Jump Rope, with a white on white print as the background fabric.
I used the same white on white as well as a medium solid grey for the sashing and borders.
Binding is done in Lush running stitch lime green.
I had the most fun ever quilting this!
The layers were secured with stitch in the ditch around each block, and then I pulled out 17 different colours of perle cotton and hand quilted a diamond pattern in all the sashing and borders!
For the centre of each block, I did a FMQ flower pattern, which can be seen better on the back!

For the back, I made a huge granny block and framed it with a solid grey and another FMF fabric.
So, here is my entry ...
Who's Your Granny?
thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

Stunning!! Love the pops of gray & the hand quilting :)
Not to sound like a broken record player but the sashing is phenomenal. Combined with the hand quilting it really makes this one stand out!
Lovely quilt :)
Love your Granny!! You did an amazing job!
Jumping on the sashing bandwagon - LOVE it! For a split second, I contemplated taking mine apart and resashing it. But it's queen-sized and that would be insane. But that's just how inspiring it is!
Great job!
Great choice for the festival! I think that this is one of my favorite granny quilts. Your quilting is the perfect touch.
oh this is one of the prettiest grannies I've seen! Your hand-stitching makes it extra special!
It's a wonderful quilt.I love all the colours and think the back looks great, too. I especially like all the hand quilting.
You're my granny! I love your quilt - the setting design is one that I have written down I love it so much. Your quilting in the different coloured threads is wicked. Love it.
Hi Patti.
I'm trying to get in touch with you about an event we're planning at the store. Have emailed you but not sure if I have the right email id. Could you please write to me at carols@sew-sisters.com so we can get in touch if you haven't received my emails.
Thanks!
Love the granny squares quilt. :)

What a beautiful layout! I've seen several granny square quilts lately but none set quite like this. The grey is perfect - it gives it another dimension but doesn't take away from the beautiful blocks. SO nice!
Your quilt is gorgeous and I adore your hand quilting! Swoon! :o)
I am loving the sashing and the hand-quilting!
Beautiful Grannies - really love your handstitching!
Wow this is lovely I love all the hand quilting and the colours are fabulous. I also love the bag with the boot on on your blog header! Thanks for sharing. #263

Your Great Granny is marvelous! I really like the colours and the grey is perfect!

This is a beautiful Granny quilt!! I envy your patience to hand stitch!!
love the granny quilts - keep up the great work!
Oh, I like everything about this quilt.........only wishing it were bed=size, it's so gorgeous !
I especially like the hand-quilting with the perle cotton .
This is such a great quilt. I love what you did with the perle cottons and the back, too. I hope to make one of these after Christmas but since I'm not quite so accomplished as you, I think I'll stick with a simpler sashing treatment, much as I love what you've done here.
I really like the sashing that u added. It really makes the blocks pop.
Gorgeous quilt. I love your use of the grey for framing the blocks and I love the name :)
Love the colors and the quilting!
I really love how you did the sashing on this. Very cool way to frame each block!
Hi hope you're well! I am halfway through the piecing on my Great Granny and I totally love your sashing- would you mind if I used your idea? I'll credit you on my blog as the original inspiration when I finally get round to it :)
This is a such a fantastic quilt. You set off each block beautifully and the hand quilting is just perfect. So pretty!
It's so beautiful!
I just popped over from the Festival after seeing your quilt nominated for a win. Good luck (I voted for you!)
