Rachel is a reader of my blog & she made a beautiful quilt out of this “Navajo Quilt Block!” Isn’t it stunning?! She’s a Family & Consumer Science teacher. She made this for a Family, Career & Community Leadership Association (FCCLA) raffle. She’s the sponsor of her FCCLA group at her school & loves every minute of it!
