Paper piecing is not time efficient IMHO but it is easy to do, to me it is easier than applique but probably more time consuming than applique

Raw edge applique....and the photo is priceless!

Great idea for your math lover. There was a great article several years ago by Ivars Peterson about John Sims' Pi quilts (with pictures) you might like to read:

I would just sew the blocks together - no raw edge or applique required.

1. That picture is a treasure! My DD did the same thing one year.
2. I would use Elmer's glue dots to baste down the numbers, and then stitch around them to make a very quick quilt. Are you just going to use rows of numbers? Could be cute..... Two color, or multiple colors would look good. You could also use all alternating black and white background squares, and use the numbers in color order of the rainbow.....

Yes, that picture is from Christmas last. I told them not to wake us up before 7. So they didn't. Can't tell you how hard I cried and DH was a little teary too!

I too love the picture....beautiful children and they do look sorry for the crime! I am no help with the quilt.

We were told that any that were opened early must be meant for donations and would be taken away.
