My 11 year old niece's quilt
 
4 Attachment(s)
A few weeks back I posted about my sister & her girls visiting during their spring break. My 5th grade niece decided she wanted to make a quilt, so we bought a bunch of fat quarters, some batting, and some yardage. On Good Friday, we had a sew-in. She sewed the entire quilt top, except for the last seam. The next day we loaded it on the long arm frame and while I quilted, she used the scraps to piece her sham and a throw pillow. We got it all quilted and bound just in time before they had to head for home.

I'm the goof ball in the second picture. My niece has the classic pose of holding her projects in front of her face. ;)

How lovely! Thanks for sharing.

My niece did all of the piecing, except the last seam on the quilt, when the chunks were getting really big. I did the quilting and binding and quick mending on the edge seams of her throw pillow. (1/4 seams didn't work so good for us there.) We were quite the team!

My sis tells me that it all went on my niece's bed as soon as they got home.

Great Job!

The quilt, sham, and pillow are very pretty and colorful, and how great that a child that age is interested in quilting and sewing! Now that you have taken the time to help her make a quilt, she will likely move on and make another. Great job!

Homespun 04-25-2012 06:12 AM

OHHHH, whee, wow, I love the colors and the black and white!

bearisgray 04-25-2012 06:15 AM

Love the colors that she used! The black and white print is a great contrast for the brights. Color placement is good, too.

It is a job well done! I, too, love how bright & modern the fabrics are! I think it's wonderful that you're working to bring the younger generation over to our team... LOL!
