Date with the general...take two..

 As my first date with the General did not go too well or impress me at all.....I decided to delegate the General to the new Granny Brigade that sweeping the blogs right now...giving us lots of lovely eye candy to feast on...
...ah yes, I think this was meant to be...sigh...I like this so much better...
...not too fussy for the big prints, and lots of color combinations that I can play with...


...I decided to go with  Jolene's tut...and make my blocks a bit smaller...now this I'm loving!
So quick to piece and so much fun...

Have you joined the Granny Brigade?
be warned it's addictive........♥

These look great. I really want to do a granny quilt. I have the fabric chosen, now just need to find the time!

Yes, I've joined the Granny Brigade, though my blocks are actually called Great Grannies! Guess there are LOTS of ways to make "old" blocks. How many times have your heard of infant blocks or toddler blocks!? (Okay, yes there are baby blocks.)
