http://chasinglifeslilies.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html

I made it through half a row and then, did not touch it for another four years. I managed to move the bags through three moves and a new sewing machine. But, this year, I decided to finish the projects I had started. The first project - my rag quilt. 2 I cut the padding to large.
