Since in yesterday’s post you saw “crocheted Tierney”, I figured you should in the next post see what Tierney is currently crocheting.
This is an update on my blog post Starting a New Granny Square Blanket and here is where I am at with the 100 flower block blanket I’ve been working on since April 2026.
I’ve made 100 centers in three different yarn colors:
I’ve turned about 40% of those centers into “centers with a second round” (there are 4 rounds in this granny square block total):
I had a third round to go and then a fourth round in order to finish/square out each block and I was getting impatient, so I went ahead and finished all 4 rounds on six blocks to get a better idea of what the blanket will look like:
I have 6 different combinations with the 3 yarns as you can see in the image above. I will stick with these combinations unless I start to run out of yarn. I have 3 back up yarns (1 is the same yarn and the others are different shades of the same colors) that I will bring into the mix if needed. I think to be safe I will make as many full blocks as I can with the centers that have a second round on them; and save the centers with no rounds on them to use if I need the back up yarns.
I guess I could have actually planned, but of well – it will be a surprise to see how many other combinations I need to add to complete all 100 blocks!
And if you are interested in the pattern I am using, I have posted below the instructional video from YouTube:
these are lovely autumnal colours, Tierney. Autumn has to be my favourite season.

Looking good. And it will be so cozy warm. I also like that it’s being made from yarns on their second chance.

Thanks so much and I like that too 🙂
That have a slightly strange texture when you handle the yarn but it will work fine as a blanket 🙂

Beautiful colors. I attempted my first granny square project recently and loved it. I noticed that after your center circle you make another circle rather than a square. Super pretty. Reminds me of sunflowers. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.

OK, so I just looked at the video and it is called the “sunburst sunflower!” 🤣

Thanks so much and it’s very motivating to see what the actual squares are going to look like instead of just little sections of them! 😀

You are so welcome and as brilliant a crafter as you are, I bet you’ll be doing this in your sleep in no time. Now don’t show me up and start making items like granny Square pants… Granny Square dresses…Granny Square wardrobe.😉

Haha! I love seeing the young folks sporting their granny square fashions! But it’s not for me. I saw a “Sleepy Hollow” granny square afghan, and I thought maybe I could find autumnal colors in my stash.
