I would love to make a quilt like the one in anna marie horner’s “Handmade Beginnings” (sort of log cabin and pinwheel combined! with big swathes of fab fabric) with these. My sewing room has a quilt I made for my daughter on the sofa bed. I want something more grown up made with fabrics I love… like these!
