I am making a quilt for my DGD's kindergarten teacher. Just thought of it Monday so in a hurry to get it done before school is out in a week.

It is a pattern that a local quilt shop made up.

Oh my, that is very nice. The teacher will treasure it!!

Very pretty! Are those machine embroidered feathered wreaths?

StickyN 05-09-2013 03:05 PM

Ooooh that's pretty..and so thoughtful.

Looks like you're making great progress. Nice gift for the teacher.

I like the pattern and your fabric choices. What kind of borders are you going to put on it?

I like the fabric combination. What a wonderful gift!

Very pretty!

Nice quilt Dawn :cool:

Also wonder about how the wreaths were done. Lovely quilt! Especially like the visual of the strings abutting in the HS triangles.

sewnsewer2 05-09-2013 05:15 PM

Thanks everyone. The fabrics were in a kit (her fav color is blue) and yes I machine embroidered the feathered wreaths. It is a built in design on my Bernina. No boarders, just binding. It is 58 X 64.

I am going to piece the back with the leftover blocks and a pretty tiny floral fabric.

QandE2010 05-09-2013 05:28 PM

She is surely going to love this piece of art. Very nice.

I like that a lot.

What a pretty quilt for someone who teaches our children. What a wonderful gesture on your part. Love your white blocks with the feathered wreaths.

I really like this quilt and has I have said many times, I bet it looks really good in person!

No grandkids here yet (anxiously waiting but nowheres near close to that) but have four cats as well. Also fostering two kittens right now who are six weeks old. Obviously having the kittens around is very fun!

BuzzinBumble 05-11-2013 03:48 AM

Now that's one blessed teacher, it's a very pretty quilt! How sweet of you!
