New Pattern for Northcott – “Ready! Set! Go!”
My husband loves Formula 1 racing. So when Northcott fabrics proposed I do up a pattern for them using their new Speedway line by Deborah Edwards, I said YES! I made this baby quilt with the fabric, and I expect I’ll have to do a larger version for my husband.
