Another Granny Square Block

I finished up another granny square block yesterday. This time I worked with my orange scraps. I don't have much in the way of orange fabric, what I do/did have was mostly for the paintbox quilt I made last year. Lately I've really been liking orange and have been trying to add more of it to my stash. I just don't have scraps yet!
Here's my orange block and again a picture with my brown block.

I've Joined the Granny Revolution

I finally decided to stop looking and start doing! I've seen many, many wonderful granny square blocks in the past couple of months, and they've certainly been on my list of blocks to try. Today I sorted and ironed the suitable scraps that I was able to locate. Not having a firm idea of how I wanted my blocks to look, I went with sorting the scraps by color. Some future blocks may end up quite scrappy, while others may contain scraps all from one line.
This one, my first block, is made from my brown pile of scraps. It was the smallest pile, therefore the easiest to decide what would go in. I don't know who makes the little sheep or hedgehog fabric, I received it in a bundle of scraps from Etsy awhile ago. It sure is cute, I think. The other print is from Alphabet Soup by Zoe Pearn for Riley Blake. After trimming, my block measured 9" x 9.25"
