Mickey baby quilt

by

This may be one of my favorites. A simple strip quilt, made with a variety of red, white, black and grey dots and stripes. The Mickey head just makes it, in my opinion. Turned out so darn cute. This quilt came together really quickly, from start to finish. And I think it will be a […]
