Dreamcatcher. Sue wrote the pattern to finish 28" x 28". I tried making it using 1.5" paper pieced blocks and it made this cute Christmas gift for someone who loves the Thimbleberries fabric line. Sue gave me permission to teach her design in this small size and I presented it as a mystery project to my mini quilt class. I had to make another one since I had given my first quilt away. And look what h
