 and see that gorgeous quilt on the front cover, yes I started it!! I couldn't help myself and it was so much fun! At first I thought I didn't have any neutrals but Pat explains all about using neutrals in the book.

Here are the first 8 blocks of Road Trip, I have another 5 cut, ready to sew. They come together so fast! I will be making a smaller version of the quilt as I dont make big quilts, but you never know!! (most of this fabric is from Whimsicals)
