Quickie Hot Pad coffee mat
I wanted something new to set my coffee on in the morning. The quilt block I have been using was looking a little sad. I still have way too much sewing motif fabric, so here goes another project. I found this book in my private library. It is all small pieced blocks, no paper piecing, …
