Memory Quilt for Geat Grandson
 

My Great Grandson was the 'Student of the Day' in his Kindergarten class. He stood in front of the class and all of his classmates drew pictures of him & he drew one of himself. The picture he drew is in the top left corner & bottom right corner of the quilt, had to do this in order to have an even # in the rows. I took the pictures & scanned them into my computer, printed them on treated muslin and made a Memory Quilt for him. I sent it to him for his birthdday which is today, he lives in Northern NY.

WOW. This is just great. A quilt that he will have for a lilfetime. I think this is one of the most special quilts that I have seen. Know that he will treasure it forever. You are a super GREAT Grandmother. Not only does he now have a very happy memory but he has something special that his Great Grandmother made just for him. PRICELESS. BrendaK

Great memories for your GGS. How did you ever get those pictures from his classmates since you don't live close by him? I made a crayola memory quilt for my son & DIL for Christmas...had his kids color on muslin/stabilized fabric. Then I heat set it and had fun! But I would love to have pictures from my grand-kids classmates to make them a quilt. Thank you so much for sharing!

That is such an amazing quilt. I love the pictures drawn by his classmates. He's a doll!

I just happened to be visiting him at the time this happened & he brought them home with him. I got pics scanned into my computer.

I want to thank everyone for the nice remarks regarding my GGS's quilt. It was such a pleasure to make this for him. We have 9 Great Grand children.

Great idaea, such a cute quilt. He will treasure this quilt. :)

Isn't he just adorable & so proud of his very own quilt. How thoughtful of you to do something so "special". He obviously is tickled pink (or should I say tickled blue). LOL

I am sure he feels he is the MOST SPECIAL PERSON in the world.
