Uh oh, a spool is unraveling! Refresh and try again.
Description:

Frame of Mind surrounds printed squares with two contrasting sets of narrow frames. Six fabric arrangements create variety within the same courthouse-steps construction, and twenty-five blocks join in five rows. A plain border encloses the block grid before the separate binding finishes the edge. Natalie Crabtree designed this beginner quilt for the Pen and Ink collection, using its black and white prints in a project that finishes at 54 inches square.
