The beauty of this quick mini quilt is that the blocks are easy to make, and it’s a great scrap buster because you start with four fat-eighths (a 9″ x 21″ piece of fabric)!
Four of these blocks make a cute mini quilt or table-topper that measures 23.5″ square. If you’re looking for a project to try machine quilting at home, this is a good size to try.
