Here’s some pictures of Sophia’s progress on the Plaidy Cake Shoreline quilt! 

Four Finished Quilt Blocks from Cluck Cluck Sew's Plaidy Cake pattern. They were pieced by Sophia, and feature fabric from Camille Rosskelley's Shoreline collection.

Sophia’s been piecing this quilt on the Brother PS500! It sews like a dream, with smooth stitching, easy needle threading, and an optional 1/4" guide foot makes consistent piecing a breeze! This machine is on sale until the end of August for only $699!
