I like the widths and layout. The white throws me off though, have u thought of a very light pink in place of the white to make it more soft?? Then like someone said, do a ruffle around and use the light pink....what u think? Such a nice idea and she will love it.

This is lovely....I hope this makes her realize that there are definitely some good people.

I was at a meeting at the middle school and was shocked at the weight of most of these young kids. Honestly, when I was in school everyone of them would be considered the fat kid. But then again the majority of the teachers there were very overweight too. I mean when the girls P.E. coach is obviously overweight what incentive does that give the girls? I wanted to ask was I the only one that wondered why she was the PE and Health teacher? People?
The bullying of the young girl needs to be stopped whatever the reason. I think you are wonderful for making this quilt for this young girl. I can imagine how thrilled she will be when she sees it!

so this is going to be a quick quilt.
i started with 1 yard of flannel (#7).."funny Babies" by Amy Bradley

then pulled the other fabrics to match...i think they match. i wasn't happy with the fabrics as they set..so i cut 1.5" white..to seperate some of the colors,make them pop.

there is polka dots,purple stripe,small flowers w/purple,pink,blue

the widest strip is cut 4" the smallest 1.5"

should i make the wider ones narrower?
any suggestions?


Looks great as you have it.

No do not make the wider ones more narrow. I like how the print shows up and it adds interest.
Very sweet of you to do this. i am sorry for the girl.

I like the layout, and how thoughtful are you?

I was bullied as a Jr High student, I looked a lot younger than my peers and had a very long 'awkward' stage, and it was a miserable time. My parents were not sympathetic, and anyone being kind would have been so nice.

Bless you.

Looks wonderful so far. Bless you for making an effort to let this girl know she's valued.

I think it looks perfect and you are a special person to do this.
