ORANGE Squares

I'm still going through boxes from GG. I have several bags of unfinished projects. They are in different plastic bags from different stores. I suppose she was one of the first "environmentalists" but we won't go into that now....

Some of them scream "What was she thinking?"

There is no pattern in the bag, no instructions. Not even one of her favorite methods of documentation...an empty envelope from her mail, with some hints of what stitches to use written on the back.

 I take this as a challenge.

This project has an interesting square that stands up in the middle with lots of texture. I first want to find something to tone down the slap me in the face orange, and blend the rest of the colors.

I believe I have it figured out. 

I suppose I should figure out the square itself as well.  I've searched through the patterns I have from her and most of the scrap pieces of paper and backs of envelopes. I know that she often took other peoples projects and finished them. sometimes she would get paid. Oftentimes, they were projects from a loved one that had passed and the person would ask GG to fix it up so that they would have something to remember. Now I'm doing exactly that. Working alongside GG's hands. 

The squares smell like GG, and I know she liked this type of oddball grannies. Funny, she could probably be called an oddball granny. She would have been proud of that.
