The fabulous Amy, over at During Quiet Time, very generously allowed us to use her latest free pattern, Calico Grove, to do block 5 of FPPFTT.  When I saw it I knew it would be perfect for tackling sectional blocks, and in fact 4 sets paper bases make up one block, so...

This is going to be a sofa quilt for winter snuggles I think, and will make a good Killearn project for a few months! . . . . . . . #quilting #quilt #iquilt #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovequilting #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #quiltblogger #blogger #alisonglass
