I decided that I ought to start another quilt for the nursery. Instead of finishing more pressing projects, like vacuuming or putting away baby clothes. I used the same Kona solids as on the houndstooth quilt. The pieces are half-square triangles. Now, I just need to bind and wash it. And then I’ll show it […]
A navy and white houndstooth quilt
