Project: Granny Square Cushion Cover

I recently took some fun crochet classes with Cat and a bunch of lovely ladies.  Our teacher was the hilarious Natalie from Poppy & Bee and for four weeks our Friday nights became quite "special" :)  More about that another time...

One of the things we learned to make were Granny Squares - who doesn't love Granny Squares?  I decided after a few that I'd make a bunch, join them together and create a cushion cover and it will become a birthday gift for my mother in law in February... And I'm a little slow as it only dawned on me recently that it's quite fitting as she goes by "Granny" to her grandchildren :)

So here is the end result:


Join Granny's, add border, make envelope back cushion cover, then attach Granny's to cover.  Voila.
