The Pieces to the Squares Sampler Crochet are Complete!

The sun came out today and the pieces to my 

Squares Sampler Crochet puzzle are complete! 

 When I was counting and sorting my pieces, I found I only had nine setting strips and that I needed ten to fit the puzzle together. So I made one more setting strip, the mini granny square flower at the bottom of the photo. 

These small daisy granny squares were adapted from this 

Daisy Granny Square Tutorial by Melanie Ham

There is a video tutorial in the link below:

Because I needed to fit eight squares in my setting strip size,

 I changed the last border to Half Double Crochet 

to get the smaller size that I needed.

Sewing two of these mini squares together made the width perfect.

Here is my tenth setting strip.

Time to lay out my blocks! 

Linking up today with all the lovely inspiration at

I hope you have had a Happy Sunday!

To make these blocks Nutmeg and I followed this free tutorial:

Like my Solid Granny Square Blocks, 

I used up small leftover balls of yarn 

and added more colors after making the first circle to square block. 

Since I wanted my blocks to be 5 inches square,

I stopped at Round 5 so my blocks are smaller than the ones in the tutorial.

My four Circle to Square Granny Blocks are done and drying on my blocking board.

More small blocks coming soon ...

and then time to decide my final layout.

I hope you have had a Happy Stitching Day !
