    The quilt was really easy. I picked out 8 fabrics. Cut 4 x 4 squares. I assembled my top attaching the border and assembled the back of the quilt. You trace 5 x 5 squares on the top. I choose to sew on the lines I drew for the grid because I liked the sewn line on the 5 x 5 squares. I like to spray my quilts rather than pin. I put the quilt together (i.e. top, batting and at bottom). Then you sew straight lines a quarter inch in across the top sides and bottom of the blocks(that is your quilting). Attached the binding and you are done. Easy quilt in a day.

    These are all just lovely. What fun and festive gifts; they will be very pleased. I see snuggly warm in front of a good movie and cocoa and treats on those lovely mats. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
