thanks to a sew-in for our modern quilt guild (hosted by sewingly yours) this weekend, i was finally able to finish up this quilt for my pal jude…. she picked out all of the fabrics on her very own, except for a few that i threw in that i knew she’d been ogling. we settled […]

#ikes6thbdaysleepover
