Granny Square Challenge

You may recall that I signed up for a challenge last year (or maybe you don't).  
A woman heading the group sent us each 12 out of production, Tula Pink 2.5" squares. 
 Each month she listed which one we were to use as our center of the granny square pattern and each month issue us a challenge on how to use it.  
I finished the rest of mine up (even thought it doesn't end until February!).  
I thought I would share my last few here and tell you how we were challenged to use them. 
It was a fun and easy project.

For all of them she challenged us to use a background other than white.  
For this one we had to use fabric that had something that flies.  
I chose bees.


Even thought this looks white it is not, it is minty.  
The challenge was to use froggy green (or frogs).  I used the frogs


This month we had to use raccoons.  


That finished them up, BUT she sent the brown basket fabric and
 issued a bonus challenge to use it in a block (or blocks). 
 Here is my finished block using the brown basket weave as the center.


Now the challenge is how will I set them into a quilt?  I would love a few more blocks.
I am hoping she continues this over the course of the next year.

It was a fun challenge and forced me to use things together I might not have.

Enjoy your weekend!

These are great! I have been thinking of creating this pattern and, coincidence, I am thinking all the center squares will have my bee fabric. Then the color scheme will be black, white, and yellow. I could very easily make a scrappy version too since I have 2.5 inch squares coming out my ears!

You did a very nice job on them. That was a fun challenge for you. You can continue making the same block with fabrics from your own stash? Your own personal challenge.
