Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in M Here are some still shots of my Faefolk quilt in Maple Syrup Disco ✨🧵.On my first Faefolk quilt, I didn’t use pins. Partly because I was in a rush and partly because I had been working on Dilly Dally, so my piecing game was on point. Those seams came out perfect.I thought, “I’ve done it once, I can do it again.” This time I skipped pins, but I haven’t been working on anything fussy lately, and let’s just say the seams had a mind of their own. 🙃 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, going to be sending this one to testers this week!
