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.

To measure the tail for sewing I wrap the yarn around the square top to bottom twice and cut an inch above the square. Use this tail to sew the squares together in a row. It cuts down on the amount of tails to weave in :)

Sew together in BLO to get that quilted look.
