These blocks, in happy spring-like colors, are my winter therapy for 2012, for sure. I added some black to keep them from being too, too sweet, and I like the contrast it adds.

Granny Squares
I told you recently that one of my new strategies for dealing with scraps is to cut most of them into strips and squares. I used quite a few 2 1/2 inch squares in a bib set, but there were many leftover. And then Jolene created a tutorial for her granny square quilt blocks. Perfect!
I can't tell you how fun these are to make. I'm not one for repetitive sewing, so these are great. Each one uses different fabrics, if you're going scrappy, in new combinations.
