It was awful. The footage of making the blocks was painful to watch.I'm sure if I hadn't been on the hook with the guild for a…

Last Fall, you may remember, I participated in the South Carolina MQG Mini Quilt Swap. My swap partner requested purples, greens and navy. One of her favorite fabric designers was Jessica Swift.
