Side units are finished for the Patriotic Plaid QAL hosted by @allpeoplequilt!
I’m absolutely loving how these prints and the soft patriotic color palette are coming together. The sweet florals and gentle colors are giving me all the cottagecore vibes, and I can’t wait to see the finished project take shape.
How are your side units coming along? I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the QAL!

Corner units are stitched and looking so sweet for the Patchwork Plaid QAL!
The soft reds, pinks, and blues with tiny ditzy florals, are adding the perfect touch of charm to each block.
Seeing these little pieces come together makes me even more excited for full layout!
Are you working on your corner units this week?

My fabric pull for the American Patchwork & Quilting @allpeoplequilt Patriotic Plaid quilt along is ready to go! I’m making a table runner—just three sweet blocks for my dining room table. I chose a lighter palette filled with soft, tiny florals, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.
