Floating Squares Part Two Quilt Blocks

Make a Quilt

Today is Part Two of my Floating Squares Quilt pattern. Part one is HERE
I’m trying to get better at giving myself a bit of space without feeling like I should be doing something. Sometimes slowing down  exactly what I have to do or to do need.
Yes, I know things will still be there and I’m pretty sure the laundry isn’t going anywhere either! Give yourself a moment and make a quilt.

Floating Squares Quilt Pattern for You to Make

Make a Quilt

I don’t usually post to far ahead, but right now I need to give myself a little extra time.  So, I’m sharing this quilt pattern with you over the next week, one part at a time, three total.  Life gets overwhelming busy, and I’m learning  I don’t have to be everything or do everything. 

Check back every few days, save the posts as we go, and maybe even pull out some fabric and make it. Sometimes you just need to forget the long list of things you SHOULD be doing and make a quilt instead!
