Inspiration: These two quilts from Instagram @jessicaquilter and @shari.watson92
Pattern: Plaid-ish by @kitchentablequilting

I pressed all my seams open in this quilt. If I do it again, I will press to the sides. Here is an IG post that helps with that. Erica @ kitchentablequilting added her own way of nested seam instructions with her Mini Plaid-ish Sew Along. I think it is just opposite and both should work well…
