I wouldn't think of it as a Granny quilt either, but that's what my DIL called it so that became it's name. LOL!

All machine pieced. I try my best to do no hand work unless absolutely necessary. For the QAYG, I sandwiched the 64 square block with batting/backing and then used walking foot to stitch the crosshatch lines on every other square.

I think I probably broke every rule in the book (and a few that aren't). I wouldn't want any of you who really know what you're doing to look at this quilt too closely.

I find that I like working small... This wasn't a project to work on exclusively until finished, but it was my go-to between other projects. That's one of the reaons it took so long. And parts of it were BORING ( the hand work to finish it particularly). I really had to force myself to work on that part.
