Windmills of my Mind Square
These adorable squares will become your go-to pattern for coasters and blankets! Isn’t it lovely? In the photos you can see Atty’s project – the squares joined together to make a lovely cushion, but I bet the blanket would be beautiful as well! Black and white for the windmill motif works great, so use it as the repeating element while changing the colors of the background.
