This is a quick quilt I designed for Mom to use fabric leftover from a kit from Connecting Threads. It’s a good one for using focus fabrics.
Here’s Mom’s finished top. You can see that the focus print is different in the design and in the actual quilt. I downloaded the fabric from Connecting threads to use in EQ7 but the scale of the print was off some — not a problem since it didn’t need to be exactly like the design anyway.
After all these years, I decided I’d make one of these too!

This is the first time I have visited your site. I came here because I recently purchased the Accuquilt log cabin die, and was looking for more information on how to use it. Thank you for what you do, as I’m sure it requires hours and hours of your time. I will be a frequent visitor to your site.
