101 Fabulous Small Quilts @ Sew Sisters this Summer!

We love this new book we have on our shelves right now 101 Fabulous Small Quilts from That Patchwork Place. It's a beautiful book filled with great projects, inspiration, information and stunning small quilts and mini quilts.

We decided that we would make quilts from this book this summer!
Through the summer we will blog about the Small Quilts we are making and we'll introduce you to the people making them! You'll get a chance to meet the staff at Sew Sisters and get to know them a little better!

We first met Sue when she took an appliqué class with Jeannie.  It is impossible not to smile when Sue is in the room - she is that rare soul that brings out the best in everyone around her.  We are so grateful that she came to class and stayed!

Sue chose the Indigo Blue and White quilt by Kathleen Tracy. 

The small quilt measures 14.5" X 18.5" finished.
Each block is a finished 4" square.
