Year of Projects: 500 Squares




I am making this quilt for a friend's baby and it uses 500 2.5 inch squares so I spent the Thanksgiving weekend cutting square after square. . . but it is nice that I got it all cut out!

  1. I love the quilt and your choice of fabric. One day I will have a go at quilting - maybe when the kids are older and wouldn't interfere with lots of small pretties!
