An interesting focal fabric paired with fun coordinates and an enlarged size, makes this the perfect throw. The Calico Hutch has several versions from which to choose so you can get the result you are looking for. Ahoy is a great beginner project made with the pattern “AHOY” by Villa Rosa Designs. Merle will teach you all you need to know to begin your quilting journey. This is truly a beginner for the beginners!
