Step 6And here is the quilt I made for my mother in law(bff), she loves christmas. Of course, quilts look much better in person. This is a great quilt for a beginner and a good way to use up scrap strips. I finished the quilt with a large border, polar fleece back and hand tied it(I know, its not a quilt unless its quilted). She loved it. Make one today! Start up takes minutes!
