I used to make the first one all the time when I lived in FL. Haven’t used thread much lately. Need to get back to it. Never thought of putting a “granny” as the center, but it makes a great deal of sense!

I presume you mean the one with the round centre. I do like that one best but the other is quicker to make.

Just want to take a moment to thank YOU for the hard work you’ve done in getting these patterns written out – and for sharing so freely with all of us!
I’ve been amazed with the crochet community – because of the wonderful, generous hookers like you, the rest of us who are working to improve our own skills can do so – without having to spend TONS of money for classes, etc.!
It’s almost like gaining a whole new family – one that has shared with all of us out here in the blogosphere (the readers).
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
Blessings to you – always!

Well I think it used to take me about two or three hours to make a cross and the edging. But then I would use spray starch to stiffen it and make the cord the next day. Though if you ironed it till it was dry I suppose you could do it all the same day. Hope this helps.
