W.i.P Wednesday and a Leap Day Giveaway!!!

by Nicole
I’m celebrating Leap Day and W.i.P. Wednesday with a giveaway!

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

First, my W.i.P. I’ve been working on a liberated quilt, inspired by Gwen Maston’s book. I’ve got the top pieced and basted.

I must say that it was liberating to put this one together – to not worry about matching seams or exact measurements.
I wanted to continue that liberation with the quilting as well and decided to quilt straight random lines.

I hope to have a finished quilt to show you soon.
Now for the giveaway!
Elizabeth over at Such a Sew and Sew is hosting a blog hop in celebration of Leap Day.
