Two Neonatal Quilts (Quilted on the Domestic Machine)




I started these quilts for something simple to do at the Tuesday sewing meetings in Belmont. Then Covid-19 struck and the meetings ended while we shelter in place. I finally decided to finish them at home. The pattern is a simple strips sewn together with an insert of blue and white checkerboard squares.
