It Is Done- Yippie!!

This is one of the largest projects I have taken on. And I am so grateful I knew to weave ends as I went, instead of leaving it all for the end.

It’s going to be sad to see it go, but I’m sure it will be appreciated. Our neighbor got one final mow in for the season before the weather turned. Even mulched the branches I hadn’t gotten around to cleaning up.

A month and a half of labor. Long hours of “just one more round”. Hundreds of ends to weave and snip. Days of looking at my progress and wishing I didn’t need a break.

My youngest said that all we have to do now is make cookies! I need to figure out what we’re making and get the supplies, but they’ll definitely be from scratch; to keep with the theme.

From the beginning I’ve had fun playing with colors and searching my stash for the right mix.

The assembly is one of my favorite parts. Laying the pieces out and moving them around until it feels balanced. Then I make a plan and put them together in stages. One by one I created the tiles until I had a complete stack of twelve.

I actually hugged them a few times. Squishy success. A bit of added love. Then I got to play around with how to lay the whole thing out and set about carefully joining them in rows and then joined the columns.

And now it’s ready to be wrapped up and gifted away. I just love Granny Squares. They really are their own kind of magic.
