Jumping on the Granny Square Train

Hello!  I'm sorry my blog has been so quiet.  I just haven't been doing much sewing.  Life has been busy.   Work has picked up and Summer/Spring hit.  But I did carve out some time and found my way back into my sewing room.  However, instead of working on the many projects laying around on my cutting table (Hello SWOON! - Need.  To.  Finish!), I decided to get some 2.5" squares cut.  I also decided that I'm going to get the GO! die for my cutter and do the rest of them that way.  Maybe FINALLY using the gift that my husband got me, oh, 3 years ago for Christmas.

I digress.  Where was I?  Oh yah.  Cutting squares.  So I started cutting some squares and put this together.

ME - Basket of Flowers

Oh. I like it!  How about two color combo block?

Oooooo!  I'm liking this one too!  How about one that is totally "not me"?

Totally Scrappy = Totally not me

 All three together?

How bad do the three look together?  Because I am torn as to how I want to work these blocks.  Fabric line coordinated, 2 color combo or totally scrappy.  I'm thinking if I do a few of each type and stick them in one quilt, 2 out of 3 I've made already won't go to waste.  What do you think?

Here's my pile of scraps that I've cut so far.

This granny square project is going to be something that's going to be an on the side project.  Something I want to work on in between other things.  I'm sure we all have projects like that.  This will probably be the last you'll see of my granny squares until I get Swoon, 3 mini messenger bags, a bag for my husband and Punk's Twirl bag DONE. 

I better get cracking then!
Enjoy your day!
