GSC-Week 13

As we finish week 13, I just wanted to say Happy Spring to all! Before we know it the summer will be upon us! Wow the time seems to be going by so fast! I have my week 13 blocks ready and am working the blocks for week 14 and a baby blanket. I have chosen one of my favorite blocks to use for the baby blanket, so far I have about 15 of the 60 blocks done and will post it as soon as I am finished.

So here are the blocks for this week from the "200 crochet blocks" book by Jan Eaton:

GS #86-Diamond in a Square (#83 in the book)

                          I have done a diamond pattern before, but this one is a little different.


GS # 87-Lemon Stripe (#85 in the book)

This square reminds me of lemons and limes, which makes me long for summer. This pattern also had a few popcorn stitches, which are hard to see in the picture.

GS #88-Sunray (#86 in the book)

               This pattern was easy to do, the only adjustments I made was sc in round 7 instead of dc

GS #89- Peony (#87 in the book)

For this block I had to omit rounds 9 & 10, since that would have made the flower to big and the finished block too large

GS #90-Edwardian Fancy- (#88 in the book)

I had to omit round 11 on this block to make it the right size. This is a fancy block that would make a nice table runner or great coasters.

GS # 91-Spinner (#89 in the book)

This block was fun to make and would look good in many different color combinations.

GS # 92-Victorian Lace (#92 in the book)

This is a pretty square that would look good in different colors. I would only use one color for this square, since using more that one would take away from the lacy look.

I hope you enjoy this weeks squares!

Happy Crocheting!
