Q is for (Crochet) Quilt-ghans. I love making these!! The basic idea is to crochet little mini two round granny squares and join the squares together in quilt patterns. My two favorites (or actually the only two I have made - each multiple times) are Around the World and the Baby Nine Block. These each involve a LOT of little squares! To date I have made 5 Around the World quilt-ghans (two double size, two queen size, and one king size). one queen size Nine Block, and 6 or 7 Baby Nine Blocks. I won't count how many squares that creates - but it would be well into the thousands! I made my first one in 2008 and have not made one in a few years now. I think it may be time to make a few baby blankets to have on hand for gifts!!
Here are some examples:

| Double sized for my niece |

With difficulty!! I do try to be sure to set aside a bit of "me" time every day!
DeleteWhile I love the idea of a "quilt-ghan" I really hate sewing all those little squares together. I did one that had a heart motif to it and had to learn to crochet triangles - it took me FOREVER to sew it all together! (But it looked beautiful when I was done).

I must be an odd duck, but I really actually enjoy sewing these little squares together!
