Learn one humble granny square and Lori Holt's Great Granny Block carries you a long way. The classic scrappy patchwork square gets set on point and scaled from a table runner up t o a generous bed quilt, with bright prints framed in crisp white for a look that reads as both heirloom and fresh. Because the block is built from small squares, fabric choice does most of the personality work, so the same projects look completely different in reproduction prints, modern brights, or a scrap bin emptied out for the occasion. What the Book Includes This listing is for the printed pattern book, not a kit or a finished quilt. Great Granny Squared is a 37-page soft-cover book with complete instructions for four projects built from the Great Granny Block, plus two quilt labels for personalizing a finished quilt, with full-color photography throughout. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included. The Projects Great Granny Quilt: 72" x 85.5" Bonus Quilt: 54.5" x 66.5" Table Runner: 24.5" x 45.5" Pillow: 24.5" x 24.5" Great Granny Quilt Label: 18" x 22" Bonus Quilt Label: 12" x 16" What You'll Need The Great Granny Block is pieced from simple squares, which makes it friendly to scraps and precuts alike: charm squares, strips, and fat quarters all have a place. A rotary cutter, mat, and ruler handle the cutting, and no special templates are required. Each block is then squared to a crisp 12.5 inches, a step that goes faster and stays more accurate with a 12.5-inch square ruler, and the book calls out the Creative Grids 12.5-inch Square It Up Ruler for exactly this, stocked here in standard and left-handed versions. The two quilt labels are finished with hand embroidery, a gentle way to stitch a personal note into a quilt, and backing and batting are separate. Fabric amounts for each project and size are listed in the book. Perfect For Confident beginners and intermediate quilters who want approachable patchwork with no half-square triangles or set-in seams to match Scrap lovers and precut collectors looking for a block that rewards a busy, varied palette Makers who want a coordinated set for a room: two quilt sizes, a table runner, and a pillow from one block Anyone finishing a quilt as a gift, with two embroidered labels ready to personalize it Why You'll Love This Book Learning one block and reusing it is what makes this book efficient. The Great Granny Block repeats across every project, so the skills compound instead of resetting with each make, and each one goes faster than the last. The granny square began in crochet, and this patchwork take gives the old motif a coordinated, room-ready set. The two embroidered labels are the finishing touch that turns a quilt into a keepsake, which makes the book a natural for gifts and heirlooms.
