Hi! I'm Alison from Little Bunny Quilts and I'm back today sharing a darling project using Wing and Leaf! This project uses log cabin blocks made from a jelly roll and sweetens them up into lollipops! This project is best for intermediate or advanced sewists as it incorporates partial seams, strip piecing, and stitch and flip triangles. Finished quilt is 68 x 78 inches.
