The blocks were made from the "Pure" line of Sweetwater fabrics that I bought in a New Hampshire quilt shop named Quilted Threads. Such wonderful memories of quilty adventures with friends come to mind when I see this fabric. 💕
I sewed the blocks together with scrappy sashing until it became the size of a placemat. See those tiny 9 patches!?! So cute!
Straight line quilting was done with the walking foot, just following the lines of the blocks.

11 years is long enough to wait to use LOL - I think I have a box with some blocks that need to be used as well
