Happy Folk Quilt – Gingerbread – 2nd In Progress

It’s technically a one-inch grid, except for the rectangle happening in the center. I marked the whole thing with a Hera marker before quilting, this was one of those really relaxing sewing sessions where you just settle in and stitch for a while. QuiltyClass.com
Chapter 3 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class i Chapter 3 of the Morning Rising Mini Quilt Class is now available ✂️ In this chapter, we’re marking the quilt with a Hera marker and quilting the background using simple straight line quilting and a walking foot.
