Lyra is a free quilt-a-long offered by Sandra at MMMQuilts. When I had the cutting all done, I skipped the “quilt-a-long” part and made the quilt.
Due to the generosity of Island Batik (Lumin Fabrics) I have a great stash!! All of these fabrics were from my IB stash!
Here it is in all it’s glory:

Hi Ruth!!
