Simple Quilt Tutorial
The holidays just aren’t the holidays for me without gifting something handmade. Because my list can get long and my aspirations bigger than the actual time allotted, I love to have something simple and easy to make in my pattern toolbox and this quilt is one I go back to again and again.
