More progress on Godstone Grannies

I've now stitched more of the Godstone Grannies (GG) diamonds together into larger units and with each stitch I am getting more and more excited to see the GG quilt coming together. As I previously told you I have a plan for stitching the blocks together and I do that to give me nice long continuous seams to sew. It just makes the sewing much more efficient. The picture below is the unit that will be the lower left corner of the quilt and it will be attached to the large center diamond.


This is the large center diamond to which it will be attached.


This is the unit that will be the upper right corner of the quilt and it too can now be stitched to the diamond.


I always find it interesting how some blocks might not seem so attractive on their own but once they are joined together with the others it all seems to work just fine! That's why I don't worry so much about blocks that are less than beautiful! That being said if something really bothers me I'll fix it but sometimes it is good to take a wait and see approach!

Tomorrow I'll be publishing Block 6 in my Value Proposition Hexagon Quilt Along (QAL) and I'll try to get it up first thing so you'll have some fun sewing for the weekend! If you missed the previous blocks you'll find links to each under the tab Quilt Alongs by Karen H.

Until tomorrow, happy sewing!

    Wow, love it already! This isn't a color scheme I would have initially picked but I definitely would now. The orange/rust hexagons glow! It still amazes me how quickly its come together.

    Hi Karen
    That looks so emazing and you are right, even if some blocks look not so good at the first view, but sewed together, they look perfekt. ( I already startet to think about the color, i could use for mine....)
