Migration Quilt #5 – In Liberty + Gold – In Progress

  Migration Quilt #5 I started this Migration quilt last summer, and it’s been one of the slowest going quilts  I’ve ever worked on (especially considering what an easy quilt this one is). I don’t remember why I randomly cut it up one night. I usually plan my quilts out just so, but this one was…
