Granny Squares!

About thirty years ago, I made this little Granny Square blanket and put it in my Glory Box.
I eventually got to use it when I had the boys.
You didn't know I could crochet, did you!
Thirty years later, I have made some more Granny Squares! 
I've just got to piece the backing and 
then it's off to be quilted.

Nope, I had no idea, clever you. I love the quilt top and those smiling eyes behind it.

There must be something about being pregnant that makes us crochet, it's the only time I finished a blanket. Love your modern granny squares, very pretty.
