Description:
Artist Statement: "What could be more fun than creating a quilt that looks like one of your Grandmother's crocheted afghans without ever picking up a crochet hook! I love working with hexagons, and this design gave me lots of practice with hexagons and Y-seams. I also love English paper piecing, so I included bouquets of flowers in two of the corners. This quilt was a fabulous stash buster. Also it was fun combining many different fabric, from reproduction fabric to more modern prints."
When making a quilt, Lynn loves combining different techniques. With Grammy Squares, she decided to make the featured block be the hexagon and incoporated some appliqué. For this quilt, Lynn also discovered that she could use any color she chose and it would work as long as she outlined it in black.
