sewlinzi Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 It doesn't happen often enough these days but I just finished my 10 year old son a quilt using African fabrics! The blocks are small Go tumblers, I used wool wadding and Deloa's 12" boomerang ruler for curved lines. It is only 66" square but I am rather pleased with it...
