eliott’s quilt – Done

Eliott’s quilt is DONE!  I guess…   As you can see, I have doubts about it.  I love the small miminalist blocks with the hand stitching.  I love the stencilled stars and moons on the border.  I always like to have stars and moons on my quilts, and those in the border are not the only …
