I'm going to keep the text on this post short and sweet and let the photos from all of my amazing pattern testers speak for themselves. The Ivy League Quilt Pattern is now live and can be found HERE. I created this pattern several months ago as part of the Sonata Showcase (click HERE to see the very first version of Ivy League before it was Ivy League.)
