Geo quilt

This quilt was inspired by a photo I saw in a quilting magazine once. It is made with little 2 row granny squares.

This is the graph I used to put the quilt together. You can use any variety of colors that fit with your decor.

To make the opposite color blocks just swap color A and C. This makes a nice effect and also helps to use the yarn evenly more.
