Mix Tape Mix Up (No. 24)

Once again, I’ve created a mini for a Curated Quilts Mini Challenge. This submission is for their Stripes issue to be released in July. No only do I love stripes, but the color palette took me back to the late 80’s/early 90’s and reminded me of a time in my life growing up that is very closely tied to music. This inspired me to make this a mini quilt with a play list (mix tape, if you will!).
