My Maybelle Squares

My Maybelle squares. They are growing in numbers. I've been holding on to them all summer to decide what they shall become. A bag? A baby blanket? A sofa throw? Pillows? What did yo make? I am curious to know. It is time for me to make a decision. Soon the joining will begin.

  1. Hello Annette, thank you for this beautiful pattern, and your Maybelle squares are just gorgeous. Although I have not started them yet, I plan to make a blanket using these squares - a long term project I think, as my last crochet blanket (double bed sized) took me two years, just crocheting mainly in winter. I made it from Lucy from Attic 24's Granny Stripe pattern. I think a whole blanket in the Maybelle squares would be really lovely

  7. They are so pretty! I have not managed to make any yet, although I do REALLY want to! I was going to use them to make a blanket for my friend's baby, but then she found out that baby is a boy! So instead I am planning a pretty cushion or 2 for myself :) xx

  9. So pretty. I've been looking at your pattern on Ravelry and I think I might give it a try soon.

  10. I vote for pillows or a blanket :) Either would be stunning - it just depends on how many more you feel like making, and what other craft projects you have waiting in the wings :)

  12. I hung my Maybell pennants on our fireplace mantle last night. Fortunately, I had run out of the hooks I use - that you can pull the adhesive tab to remove. When I went to the store I found "small" , clear hooks with clear adhesive. Wonderful - you can't see them from in front of the fireplace. Think I will just leave them in place for whatever seasonal garland I might make. Definitely plan to make the valentine hearts, for example.

  14. They're so pretty! I like all the different colors. I agree you can never have too many blankets. Maybe a matching pillowcase if you have a lot of squares?
    Thanks for sharing the patterns :-)
    Blessings :-)

  16. Oh they look so pretty all together. I vote for a blanket, I'm dying to see these made up as a beautiful blanket. Or a cushion would be fab as well. I kind of want to made a cushion of them myself actually.... yes, that may well happen soon!

  17. Such pretty squares. They would look great as anything to be honest.

  18. Hi Annette, thank you for your lovely message on my "goodbye" post. Your new squares make me want to start a new crochet project; I love the colours you are using. At the moment I am very much into sewing and trying to master how to put my patchwork quilt together, so believe it or not I very rarely crochet at the moment! The impending cooler weather is making me want to finish the quilt and get it on our bed. Take care and I look forward to seeing how your project turns out. xx

  22. Im about to make a blanket with these squares. Need 175 squares. got 22 flowers left before i have to make them all a square. Waiting to se if you have a smart way to crochet them together :D

    Im making the flowers in DROPS Delight with needle number 4. The square will be offwhite in a yarn called Silja fro Gjestal. I know i would choose a thicker yarn next time.
