Crochet Giant Granny Square Throw Progress

At the begining of this new lockdown I started searching my stash of yarns with the aim of creating a new multicolor giant granny square blanket.

I picked up all the colored yarns I found for needles or crochet number 4, keeping the brown, grey and beige for another project. 

Here I used the brand Fonty quality Ambiance 100 % superwash Woll superfine SW.

This is a very simple and pleasant project. It is never boring as you change colors. I love playing with varigated colors when I work on a project, that is quilting or knitting. 

Antique Amish Woolen Quilt

As I said before, I love to decorate my home with quilts. I'dont think that there is something more beautiful and decorative than a quilt displayed in a room.

Especially if it is an antique! This one is the only antique Amish quilt I own. It was collected in Lancaster County Pensylvannia. It is in wool and mesures 56 x 52 inches. The pattern is called Around The World. This quilt has a stunning effect, due to the beautiful red color of the squares and the binding, against brown, beige and dark green colors. I love it... I love solid fabrics… I love printed fabrics… I love all the antique quilts!!!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

California.
