Summer Sisters Quilt

They say sisters are different flowers from the same garden. Similar, yes. But also wonderfully unique. The Summer Sisters quilt is made with two blocks that are as similar—and as different—as sisters. And here’s the secret: They're just half-square triangles with one extra cut and one extra seam. We’re using the Tranquility layer cake by Nicole Ruiz for FIGO Fabrics, a soft pink background, and a machine quilting pattern called Simply Roses. In short, this quilt is as sweet as sisters!
