Queen Sized Black and White Gingham Quilt

Awhile back we showed you how to make a Gingham Baby Quilt but I just recently re-did my guest room and wanted a large black and white gingham quilt to go in that room.

It was soft and super fluffy (I now suspect it had double batting in it) with a navy blue sheet on one side and a butterfly sheet on the other. I loved that warm quilt and had it on my bed for years. And now as an adult I appreciate it even ... View the Post
