Sometimes simple is so much better

I've been wracking my little brain trying to think of exciting blocks or new patterns for an adorable fat quarter bundle of Michael Miller fabric.  Finally it occurred to me that nothing at all is wrong with a simple patchwork quilt. How could it be any sweeter?

36" x 46"

Five inch squares sewn together.  Guilty glances at my Accuquilt Go Cutter that is still sealed in the box with a 5" square die.  Five inch squares are so easy to cut ... why did I pick that die??


Hand quilted with straight lines through the blocks.


 Easy and not complicated.  Just like a baby.   Now .... on to dresdens.  Come join me!
