Curiosities Quilt

Even though it is summer and we are trying to spend as much time as we can with our kiddos there has been some sewing going on behind the scenes. Not a ton, but I do have a few quilt tops cut out--a Halloween quilt, and one other one. I've also been working on two new quilt patterns that are coming out this month as well. And, of course, this "Curiosities" quilt is one of the few things that I actually have finished. YAYY for finished!!! The fabric line is by Amanda Herring for Riley ... View the Post
