Thank you. I have not done a granny square in over 30 years and it was very hard to find the written pattern for this traditional granny square.
ReplyDeleteYour instructions are the best for solid granny that I've ever seen, and I've been looking around a lot, but they all have flaws or lack of clarity. Many thanks.
