Granny Squares Quilt

I made the Granny Squares Quilt blocks quite a while ago. I got them out and stitched them together into a top. It sat for months. I finally quilted it with a walking foot and diagonal lines. The quilt measures 47" x 59".

I know the surrounding white triangles (that form diamonds when the blocks are sewn...well in my case wonky diamonds, lol!!!) are not perfect. Sewing each block was easy enough, but then those white pieces, well I just had no idea how to make sure they stayed perfectly square, especially when sewing them later to the adjacent blocks. The overall look of this quilt turned out nice and I am pleased using up lots of colorful scraps, but Granny Squares are not a quilt I will make again, unless there is a better and simpler method for squaring them up perfectly?

I thought I would take to the gift shop to see if by chance it would sell at all. If not, I would donate it. Well I was pleasantly surprised that it sold! I didn't charge much for it and if someone liked colorful, then I thought it might sell. I hope the person who bought it loves it!
