Another of Sheri’s fabulous patterns! This is my third quiltalong with one of her paper piecing patterns, and as usual, it does not disappoint. The instructions are clear, the patterns are easy to follow, and the results are always stunning. I have used paper piecing patterns from other designers, and they’re never as easy to do as Sheri’s! I highly recommend, and look forward to the entire year of piecing, and then quilting, this gorgeous quilt!
