Kindred Throw Quilt Pattern - Another look at the Blues, Aqua and Yellow One! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing the Kindred quilt in cool tones.  I have lots of pictures that I haven't shared yet, so here we go!

Kindred is an easy quilt pattern that goes together so nicely.  The quilt pattern includes pressing instructions so all of the seams nest, which makes assembling the quilt top a breeze.

The Throw size Kindred quilt uses only 15 fat quarters.

The Kindred quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.

Nautical News Throw Quilt + We Have Quilt Kits! from Busy Hands Quilts

Just finished is the sweetest Nautical New quilt in the Throw size!  This quilt pattern is quick and easy using 10" layer cake squares.

Nautical News is a simple quilt pattern that is precut friendly and includes all ...
