Story about this quilt:

This quilt took over one year to piece and quilt. It consists of 56 different blocks. All blocks paper pieced. Started in May of 2020 and completed February of 2022. I got my inspiration from the internet (YouTube). It took numerous hours to gather fabrics. I was able to use some scraps but had to purchase quite a bit. I did straight line quilting and some meandering.
