Way back in early December, Jennifer asked if I’d be interested in participating in a blog hop in early March. One look at this BEAUTIFUL fabric collection and I knew I HAD to say “YES!”
I went to EQ8 and started designing … all these pretty fabrics will make a very pretty quilt!
Unfortunately, I enjoyed sewing this quilt together so much that I forgot to take many progress pictures! Here are the blocks on my design wall:

What could be wrong with stars and a chain block (forget the name of this one). It is funny how a quilt can escape us and get finished before we do all the photos!
