Love Birds: A small sample :)
Good morniiiiing!
This is for you a small sample to show you how I’m gonna join the squares of Love Birds. I’m so in love with this blue-turquoise-teal color that I did not help myself using it as a joining color 🙂
I made a granny round in turquoise for every square then I joined the squares together with a line of sc (U.S) (dc U.K ) (m.s France) with the dark turquoise.
and I love the result 🙂 love love love!
What do you think?? Is it good or will it be better with a white classic joining? or some other color you’ll suggest? I really would love to have your opinion…Remember: It is a very big blanket for our double sized bed and the walls are light blue in our room…
Voila voilou 🙂 Hope you liked it!

And good morning to yooooou Angie,
Well, je suis fort surprise par le rendu final de ce turquoise ( blanc, ivoire, voir une couleur foncée sont les couleurs que je vois habituellement pour joindre les grannies ).
Et bien , ton pari est réussi car TOUTES les couleurs ressortent bien , peut-être du au fait que ce turquoise est un peu ” pétant” du moins ce que j’en vois sur mon ordi. C’est aussi un ensemble plus doux car moins contrastant.
À partir de là , finalement, on peut imaginer des tas de combinaisons possibles en évitant une couleur trop “passée ” ou trop “éteinte”.
Bon, c’est juste ma petite opinion 🙂 !
Thanks
quelle beauté ce plaid j’adore la couleur du fils pour l’assemblage. Bonne journée 😉
quel beauté ce plaid j’adore la couleur de l’assemblage! bonne journée
I’ve forgotten, congrats for your award !!!! And tanks for sharing you’re little desk corner ( iI looooove your pink laptop ) ;)))) !!!!
Bon jeudi à toi !
Hello,
I do love your blanket very much. It is a wonder of colours and it is fantastickly well done.
For the color of the joining, I would (may be) have done it in a darkest color (darkest blue) ? This would have permit to this lovely turquoise to “come out” !!! But this is only my point of vieuw ans as you aksed us, I give it ! But any color you will chose, it is really, really wonderful. Have a nice day. Here in France it is very cold and today it is also cloudy !!! Kisses. Rosemarie
I think the turquoise for joining your grannies looks good, and it will match your bedroom perfectly
HAve a nice day

I like the blue joining, but blue is my favourite colour! I say if it makes you happy then stick with it.
xXx Helen
Hi Angie,
A great blanket, the colors are very beautiful, I look forward to the finished..
comme l’a si bien dit “cybouille” ton choix de bleu turquoise est un très bon choix et fait effectivement bien ressortir toutes les couleurs.
Encore une fois, bravo!
bisous
Betty
le choix des couleurs est tres bon et l idee d utiliser deux tons de turquoise est superbe. bravo!!
Love the colour of your blanket ~ blues and greens are my favourite colours ~ it will be gorgeous when it’s finished :O)x
I think the colour you have chosen is beautiful and will be perfect for your room. I will look forward to seeing it finished and maybe a picture of it on your bed.
Hi Angie
I just love that colour you have chosen to join your grannies together. I think it will show off very well in your room.
Than you for showing us your writing corner. It is very orderly with no clutter – I’m impressed, lol ;0)
Have a terrific Thursday

Love the blue that you’re using to join the squares together – it makes it that much more cheerful and fun. Can’t wait to see it all put together!
Hello Angie, good morning:
I love your blanket very much. The colors are beautiful.
Thank you for to share
Martha
Hello my dear-sister-of-feelings-and-facts! ( I love that!) Your words have put a huge smile on my face for the whole day! Thank you so much! 🙂
I have looked up your facts, I was curious :), and I am so with you at number 3, 4, 5 and 7. Especially number 5 is so me!
I love your new blanket! I think the turquoise makes a wonderful joining colour! It gives your blanket a fresh and summer-feeling look. I like that a lot!
I wish you a wonderful day Angie! Lots of love to you! Barbina
Hello,
The blanket looks very good with the turquoise joining!
I especially like it that you put an extra turquoise round on every square.
This blanket will fit your bedroom very nice!
I’m looking forward to see more of it…
Grtz, Liz.
Love the blue! Keep it!
The turquoise Angie….definitely the turquoise… it looks gorgeous… and makes the other colours POP! Also… than you won’t have to undo all your lovely joining work! Congratulations on all of your lovely awards…it shows how much loved your blog is. … I can’t wait for this Ta-dah! Hugs, Jill x
I like the dark turquoise a LOT…and the lighter turquoise round on each square is nice. I think white to join would be nice, but I have seen that done a lot, on pillows and such, so I would stick with the dark turquoise for the joining. Just seeing the sample that you’ve shown us inspires me to attempt a large project! I have a king-sized bed, though, so it would take me forever to finish a spread for it. But your beautiful creations do have me thinking about it, though! I hope that your day is filled with sunshine, smiles, and laughter 🙂
sois fiere de ton resultat c est super beau aurais tu un tuto a presenter? bonne continuation et merci pour tes articles biz
Tout simplement superbe, j’adore ce turquoise !!! le rendu est magnifique…………………
bizzzzzzz
I love the blue turquoise color too, but I always want to do something different the everyone else! I want my crocheting or whatever I’m doing to be unique! The colors of your blanket are really beautiful!!! I love, love, love, color. And all of your work is colorful! So, that just really appeals to me!!!
YES! The joining is genious, I love it 😀 Can’t wait to see the entire thing on your bed 🙂
xo,

Hi Angie! I know you have a lot of Awards but despite this I’m passing on to your blog “The Versatile Blogger” Award if you wish it. Take a look here: http://olgasoleil.blogspot.com/2012/02/versatile-blogger-award.html
Kisses… ♥
Have a nice day!

LOVE!
The turquoise is fantastic. The blue is nice too. In my opinion the blue doesnt show up much. I like it though. The question is, do you like it? Whatever you choose, it will be gorgeous.
Teresa
Hello! And congratulations on your blogger award!!
The turquoise is a beautiful choice for your joining color. Cannot wait to see the completed blanket.
I have a question for you: on your bulletin board is a motif at the top, right-hand side; white/red/white/green. Is this a pattern of yours, or one that you know where I might find the instructions???
Would appreciate it if you could share this with me. Do you know how it is when you see something and are struck with that feeling “aaah, this could be my next project,” I have been struck!
Have a wonderful day!
Good Morning, Angie! Just wanted to “chime in” on my approval of the turquoise blue you selected to join your granny squares. I imagine it will look very cheerful in your bedroom with the blue walls 🙂 Enjoy it as I enjoy reading your blog. BTW — I absolutely love your little “niche” where your computer lives — very cozy. Have a wonderful day!
Again, I just have to say how wonderful and amazing and inspirational your color choices are!! Thanks so much for always sharing!
I love your sc join. That is what I have always used, but I seldom see it done by others. It is comforting to know someone else does it too!
I really like the turquoise color for the joining – it goes together very well. 🙂
coucou
elle est superbe
assemblage au top cette couleur wouah j’adÔre !!!!
à bientôt
Sandy
Me encanta como queda tu manta. Preciosa tu laptop rosa. Un abrazo Noe
I love the blue! I think it works well with all the gorgeous colors you’ve been using and is really lovely!
Love the blue!! One of my favourite colours too. I have this in my bedroom 😉
Cute laptop 🙂 Thank you for sharing your computer corner 🙂
hugs

Wonderful. You are inspiration to me. Our 20th anniversary is this fall and I think I’ll have to make a bed spread for our bed. I love how you are using all these different colors. I am having such a hard time to decide what color I will use. I know that you will inspire me to a great combination. Thanks for sharing : )
Angie,
I love how you joined your love bird squares. I think there is just enough difference in the turquoise and the teal. I think it will look lovely in your room since it is in a blue color. I also agree with someone who said if you love it, go with it, but it does look great!!!
Hugs,
René
Me gusta mucho el color turquesa para unir
Felicitaciones por el premio
Besos

The squares look wonderful! I can’t wait for the finished blanket! I wasn’t able to post this earlier but I just dropped in to tell you that I’ve got an award for you over at my blog! 🙂
Hi! Carol and I at TwoLuLa love to visit your blog. It is always so inspiring! I know you have already received it several times this past week, but we have given you the Versatile Blogger award. Please see our post at http://twolula.blogspot.com/2012/02/we-are-sooooo-excited.html

Hello Angie!!! I’m so pleased you liked your award. They’re such fun aren’t they?? I think you must DEFINITELY go with the blue on your blanket. Never mind that your walls are blue so it will go perfectly with them, more importantly it’s the colour that you first chose and obviously adore so it MUST be that one!!! Classic white is fine but I love joining in a different colour. Can’t wait to see it finished….lol xxx
Bonjour ,ce turquoise va très bien pour faire la finition de tous ces petits carrés..bon dimanche.
Angie,
I have to share a little funny note with you. My hubby just bought me a new laptop, it’s white just like I wanted but the funny thing is that you and I have the same screensaver on our laptops. I just thought that was too cute. I do love your pink laptop I must say. I have been tryng to finish up alot of UFO’s I had lying around before I move onto anything new. I am slowly getting there along with all my spring cleaning and we are remodeling our apartment. This week I go pick out the paint. I can’t wait. I want light and bright to help with the dreary weather we have here. Hope your having a great weekend and an even better week.
Blessings,
Misty and Pets.
