Peel and stitch, then get going

Buyers report using the designs on quilts, table mats, pillows, and tote bags. One reviewer used the patterns to mend cotton shirts, stitching over small holes with a flower and bee. Others describe filling a quilt with floral blocks, and many say the variety of cute, pretty patterns gives them plenty of ideas.

Great outcome, planning to make more

I'm using it for a quilt as a spread for my bed, and now I want to make some pillow shams. I would love to send a picture because it turned out great but don't know how to send it. I'm considering making another one.

Excited to start this cute project

I saw this on a video and thought it was super cute. I was planning on embroidering the squares first before constructing the quilt. As most quilters do, I have a large collection of projects to get started on. This could take a while to get to but I can’t wait to start it!!
