Urban Chiks 1974

I love this fabric and did make one quilt out of it.  I had some yardage and a jelly roll left and it worked out perfect for a shower curtain in one of my bathrooms. I love the way it came out and now I get to see this favorite fabric daily… Winking smile

I washed and dried all the fabrics (put the jelly roll in a pillowcase) trimmed all the threads, folded, pressed and pleated the strips on my machine then attached the jelly roll flowers to the fabric.

And Pinterest gets me soooo side tracked, now I’m totally “hooked” on making these….. circle in squares grannys.

    Ack! I can't decide which I love more....the curtain or the grannies. They make a great pair of pretties!!!

    Do you have a link to instructions for the circle in a square granny? I'm just learning how to make simple granny squares, but this looks like the next step up.

    Thanks for linking up to finish it up Friday!

    There should be weekly meetings for Pinterest addicts! I love your crochet "prayer flag" photo, and of course the squares, too! You're being very Pinteresty, ya know… you make me want to run and buy some yarn!
