TUTORIAL: Granny Squares Block

Hello Friends! It's been quite a while since I last made a quilt block tutorial! (Two months! Eek!) So I thought I'd share with you how to make the block I've been swooning over the past week - the Granny Squares Block!
Until last Tuesday, I had never made this block before and was quite unsure how it came together! But with a little research and experiment, I realised just how simple the construction was and just how utterly adorable it is when finished!

Measurements and Cutting info:
- This block is made up of x25 3.5" squares. (You can cut your squares bigger or smaller depending on how big you wish the final block size to be!)
- The block is usually made using three to four fabrics. (I've chosen to use four.) But can also be completely scrappy if you wish!
- Of each fabric you will need to cut:
~ x12 white squares for the background
~ x8 green squares for the outer section
~ x4 cream squares for the inner section
~ x1 mustard square for the centre

Follow the steps in the video to see how to layout the block design and piece each square together.

FINAL BLOCK SIZE: 13.5" squared (approx.)
