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.

WOW, they are both great. Glad your mom and dad loved them. I'll have to check out that quilt pattern on DIY Dish, it's cute. Thanks for sharing.

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.
