Grandma's Squares.

[Feederofthepack]

Awhile back I had posted that my cousin was going to give me some squares our Grandma had made many years ago. (She's been gone about 15 years or more) She had been storing them and didn't know what to make of them. I thought they would be granny squares. They finally came and were NOT granny squares. My dilema is that there are 19 squares in a square motif blocks made of 3 different color combo's. Enough for a small throw with one left over! I guess Grandma was using up scraps. She had to keep crocheting so her arthritic hands would keep moving! I guess I will use them as a lapghan or throw.

On another note, I had a animal communicator tell me I had 2 granmother spirits around me. If Grandma is hanging around maybe I'll wait till she tells me what to make!

 

Should I join them using a brown like the squares or use a completly new color?

I would join with brown. They remind me of little stained glass windows!

They look already edged. Couldn't you just crochet the squares together and you would be done? I think it is just wonderful that you can finish this and use it in her memory.

I agree. They do already looked edged.

[bettycrackpot]

i agree as well, i would just stitch them together.

I'd use brown.

I agree with the brown edging, also, you could use the extra square for a pillow top to go with your lapghan!

I'd use brown to SC the squares together. And if you don't want to make a pillow with the extra square, how about using it for one side of a small tote to carry and or other supplies?

Brown.

I agree with the brown, and I agree with using the leftover as a pillow. If you ever have little ones to visit, it can be their blanket & pillow to use at your house, and when they are old enough you can tell them the story behind it.

You could use the extra square as the pocket part of a Quillow... or are they chrillos when crocheted?

 

I agree that you should use a brown to join them, I would use the SC on the front side to "frame" each square.

I think the pocket idea is a great one! I have a pattern for something similar that I haven't gotten around to trying, but they are called "pillowghans" although "chrillo" has a nice ring to it!

I think the brown would be the best, I was thinking you could put a pocket on the throw kinda like the lapghans. to hold the remote, or stitching tools while being warm and cuddly under it.
