Itty Bitty Blocks Quilt

This quilt is made of 3" blocks in the center and 4" blocks on the borders. 

These blocks were exchanged among the members of the Cotton Pickin Bee.

We had a whole year to complete the blocks. It was not too hard to make them because we could made a few blocks at a time.

It was quilted on my embroidery machine with an Amelie Scott pattern.

I made 12 columns and 5 rows. It is a nice lap size quilt.
