I'm almost finished with my Latte Quilt, just have to finish sewing on the binding. I took this class to learn how to do large designs in multiple hoopings. I certainly know how now! This is a king size quilt. I finished the binding and added a
I am so excited. My Latte Quilt won 3rd place at the quilt show this weekend. I feel honored.
