I love seeing all the beautiful blocks people are creating in our QAL! This week’s designer is Jennifer of The Inquiring Quilter.
Our family always went to the New Jersey shore and the towns we stayed in were on an island. On the road leading into town there was always this sign, and, when we saw it we knew we were close.
You can find instructions for her block here: Jennifer @ Inquiring Quilter.
