Can't let you end the year without one final block!
Welcome back to our Quilt Along in celebration of my birthday this year.
We have been posting here on our blog every week with 1 new 6" finished quilt block design!
I am sew thankful to all of you that wanted to join me on this Birthday Quilt Along.
What a celebration it has been!
You can start making this quilt with the recommended bundles below or using scraps from your stash. A Fat Quarter Bundle and Fat Eighth Bundle are great starting points.
This would be a perfect time to pull fabrics from your stash and mix and match with our bundles to make this quilt your very own. Another great option, is your beautiful fabrics from our Laundry Basket Quilts Fabric Club stash!
