Make an Easy Baby Quilt

Oct 03, 2015

As fabric lovers we adore patchwork quilts, we definitely appreciate the time and love in each stitch, each fold and of course the gift of a quilt is literally the most welcome and lovely thing ever! But what we also all know is that quilts take time and patience, and measuring, and remeasuring and to some it can be quite daunting. So today Judith at Just Jude Designs has created a pattern from... patchwork fabric! The pattern should not only be easier than a traditional patchwork quilt but much faster.
