What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This quilt along was just “mint” to be! Inspired by Julep, Kona’s Color of the Year, we’ve curated a complementary fat quarter bundle and paired it with our favorite Courthouse Steps blocks for a minty fresh quilt experience that is the Mint Inspired Quilt Along!
