On the Frame and on the Feeder

On the frame this week is the mountain peaks quilt top assembled from reader's blocks in red and white. The backing is this wonderful wide fabric Henry Glass print donated by Christine at Backside Fabrics for the project. It was loaded with the Hobbs poly batting that our guild area purchased with their charity batting …
