12 Weeks of Christmas Tutorial #2

Here's a cute Cake Quilt that I've put together that can be sewn up for any occasion. Have a wedding or birthday you need a gift for? How about Halloween or Thanksgiving right around the corner? This would also make a really cute hostess gift if you'll be spending the holiday at someone else's home.


I'd love to see pics if you do up this centerpiece for yourself!

Happy sewing! Amy
