Navajo Blanket Quilt – Castle Wall Border with Anne Baxter

Anne guides you through the sewing sequence; reminds us to be careful about the direction of your sewing when strip-piecing and talks you through the seam pressing so that you get a good flat result at the end; AND gives you permission to change the colour sequence if you want!
