Read More#DYOSampler Quilt Along: Designing the Layout

It’s the second week of the Triangle Quilt Along over at The Sassy Quilter. This week’s goal is to get all of our triangles cut, and I am happy to report that I am (shockingly) still on schedule. Of course the fact that getting each part of the project done on time gets me a…

My weekly update on projects progress. Finishes This week I made myself a wonderful wearable muslin of Victory Patterns Ava dress.
