Thank You Marie for the scrap happy package and the extras.

I have two black granny square afghans that Great granny made for me. She had one in a trunk made with wool yarn. I admired it, so using the acrylic yarn that was available she crocheted one for me. Later I received an ad in the mail showing a beautiful off white afghan with flowers on each square. When I asked if she could make the flowers, of course she could. That beauty became my bed spread until my hubby burned a big hole in it one morning with his cigarette. She was so put out with her grandson! She gave him a piece of her mind! Then she made the afghan as good as new. Later on she made another just like it for me. Then she made another black granny square for us. So now each grand daughter will have one of each! When Had was about to go into surgery for that 10 hour brain surgery, he promised God he would stop smoking...if God would let her be normal again. He stopped and our tiny granddaughter is now a beautiful young normal sized woman.

What a lovely story Marilyn. I have made several scrappy granny square Afghans, the latest one on my hook is one with white borders. They are such a great way to use up bits and pieces from other projects.

Try making granny squares with the colors on the diagonal and putting them together with color stripes going diagonally. It is a wonderful exercise in geometry.

Geometry is fascinating in quilting too. While I was teaching art the kids (third graders) , were reading about code quilts. So we made paper quilts.Every child made a block...then we assembled them on a background color of large bulletin board paper. Borders were added. They turned out so good. The teachers all loved them, and were pleased to display them. Then the kids and I played making more. We used lots of triangles, and squares.
