I made this for my Sister's b-day next month. It's a crib size quilt, no she isn't expecting. But I decided to do my practicing on smaller quilts until I get the hang of quilt making. This one was a real learning project. I cut all those little bitty squares out then sewed them up. Only after I realized I could have cut strips.

Don't we all have at least one project that we could have done strip piecing but didn't think of it until we were finished? LOL

Quilted quilts are gorgeous but there's just something about a tied quilt that says, "Hey, look at me, I'm warm and fuzzy and love to cuddle."
