I just completed Moda Frivols Kit No. 1. The pattern in the kit is called Kindred and the fabric is from a collection called Hello Darling by Bonnie and Camille. The blocks finish at 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" and the finished size is 40 1/4" x 40 1/4". It's not all that large, but it will make a nice piece to hang over the back of the sofa or cover the kitchen table.
I won this kit at a quilt show last year and I am happy to finally get it completed All I had to do was add the Kona solid (color: bone) and the backing fabric (I used Kona color: ice frappe). The backing fabric I chose was so pretty I decided to use it for the binding as well. I really wanted that color to show up on the front of the quilt as well as the back.
I have always loved the granny square block and was glad to make something using it. There are 24 pieces in each block so it was a little tough to get started since I like to chain piece. But after I got the first two blocks done, I had a strategy for chain-piecing down so the rest went together rather easily.
