granny squares week 13


i found it a bit tricky to get those whirlygig squares the way i wanted. for some reason i felt the topping rows should also be facing up, but that was just not to accomplish. i know that the topping stitches technically can't face up, as they are hocked into the front grain of the dc's. but in my mind they should have been visually different as it turned out.
by the third one, i started to like the the look of the square. though even more i like the texture of this square. the "stand up" rows of the opposing colour is cool. so i'm working on a few more of these squares. thank you blair for making me do things i would not just do on my own.
it really has been a fun summer project working on the afghan sampler and i'm so very much looking forward to work all the squares together!
o yes, and have a look at the flickr site, with all the different squares...
