This past week, my granddaughter stayed with me and made a quilt for herself, with my guidance. I told her that I would make her a pillowcase to match the quilt, from the scraps, and I finally got to it tonight, so here is the result. One side is the scrappy quilt pieces, to act like a sham, and the back side is a piece of one of the fabrics, that she can actually sleep on. Sure hope that she likes it. No pattern to the pieced side, just kept laying them out, till I got the effect I wanted.

Here she is with her quilt over the balcony railing

This is the back side of the pillowcase for sleeping on

This is the front, to look like a sham

I had the pieces cut, but she sat at the machine, and sewed the pieces as I directed her, and yes, she sewed up that top in 2 days. She was determined to get it done in the time frame we had, and she did. I am so proud of her.

I joked with her, that when I die, someone better get the quilting bug, because I sure have a lot of fabric sitting around. She just laughed.

She looks very pleased with herself. Kids need us to help them do the things that they don't have the time to do at home. Pretty quilt and pillowcase.
