This Citrus Squeeze Quilt is such a bright and cheery piece to look at! We just love the colors it’s shown in, but can totally envision it in blues and greens or even purples and pinks! The quilt size is perfect for a baby or lap quilt but add a few more rows and blocks and you could make one for a child’s bed.
