Hand quilted (Big stitching with perle #8)

Finished August 2017


1.5 inch scraps alternating with strips of muslin make up the 5 inch blocks. Four five inch blocks make up a ten inch block. The ten inch blocks were then sashed.

  3. And another of my favorite quilts!
    When you first started making these blocks I was a little perplexed - I just couldn't visualize the final quilt. Now I just always trust you, because I know whatever you make is going to make me smile!
