I’m slowly but surely working on catching up with all the completed quilts around here. This blog pretty much serves as a place to document completed quilty projects.

Today is a simple plus quilt. I started this one back in July at a weekend retreat with friends and finished it off a few weeks back. The grey is an Essex linen. I believe the color is “grey” but it doesn’t look anything like the screen shot. In person it is much more of a blue grey than a true grey. Does that make sense?…lol.

This was an easy one to do at a retreat where thinking is minimal 😉 Holly of Bijou Lovely had the measurements figured out for me in about 5 minutes. I tend to wing it with quilts and rarely figure things out before hand. Which leads to much over or under cutting.

Here’s what you will need for this quilt:
