This “Dog Gone Cute” baby quilt is another quilt I made this past summer and never posted about! The pattern is from Lorna of SewFreshQuilts. I made this for my new grandson, and didn’t get it finished until after he was here! I had to take the top with me to my daughter’s house and…

Hey all! I’m still here, just not posting much. Mostly today, I just wanted to get a few words and photos down. This corona virus quarantine isn’t that much different from my normal life, except that EVERYONE is home ALL THE TIME! Which means more work for me! I’m amazed that five people can go…
