Always looking for something different especially in baby quilts😊
Love the log cabin pattern, and would like to see variations.
I am a very basic quilter but I saw a picture of a beautiful log cabin for a little girls room. I wanted to make it for my toddler granddaughter but was scared to. Your video is amazing and now I feel more confident am very excited to start it. Thank you so very much
