(Not) Purdue Quilt Top Finished!
I’m super excited that I’ve got the quilt top for my little sister Samantha done! As you may recall, she wanted a “Purdue quilt, that wasn’t really a Purdue quilt.” My solution?

Read MoreBacking for School Days Quilt
I’m very excited that I found some backing fabric for my School Days HST Quilt. I stopped by my local quilt shop in hopes of finding some of the Red Composition fabric from the school days line. No luck with that, but Quilts N’ Bloom did have a bolt of the Dot to Dot fabric…

I’ve been working on another small quilt recently, trying to use up some of my stash. For this project I’m using the School Days Charm Pack by American Jane Patterns for Moda.
