My first finish for 2016! Yeah!!! Finally a finished quilt! I sat down yesterday night and bound this beauty. You cannot imagine my joy for this finish…mainly because my time is so limited the past 5 months, since Orestis was born.

This quilt contains 25 “square in square” blocks each measuring 8,5” inches, including seam allowance. It was quilted edge to edge with two straight lines of 1/4 of an inch apart from each vertical and horizontal seam.

This quilt is for sale in my SHOP. SOLD
