Week 8

This week I finished two companion tops that will be our first Comfort Quilts. I purchased two 5 yard pieces of fabric that I used to make these Irish Chain quilts.  The blocks are 9" finished and the 9 patch blocks are 3" finished. I will be sending them out to our new long-arm quilting volunteer.
