Blogger's Quilt Festival-Who's Your Granny?

Here we are again with another fabulous Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy@
Amy's Creative Side
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!
Quilt Stats
This quilt measures 47"x62"
 hand and machine quilted by myself
Best category-lap quilt, hand quilted
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?
