Scraps.....

Scraps…

When I started my on-line store, KPK fabrics were very popular and I love bright colors, so most of more store carried that fabric. I have boxes of end of bolt pieces and Maggie decided to raid the boxes. This is what she made.

She is not a hand quilted as of yet, so she tied the quilt with floss.

She also picked out the binding from my stash and “allowed” me to add and stitch her binding. How kind of her; as we all now it is the BEST part of quilting. What a kind daughter!!

Little T also got into the action and helped Grandma picked out some special fabrics. He had such fun!!

  7. Your daughter made a beautiful. funky quilt.
    I can remember when my kids were little, I gave them their own little bag of scraps to play with when I wanted to quilt. Works like a charm, but their cuteness can be distracting.

  11. Great idea to get little T started while he is young! And the bright colors in your daughters quilt look so happy in front of all the cold, cold, snow.

    I think your daughter did a fantastic job with her quilt. She must have had a good teacher, huh, Jane?

  18. Oh what fun pictures! Thanks so much for sharing them Jane! The quilt is gorgeous with all those bright colors...suites Maggie I think!

    You weren't serious when you said binding is the best part of quilting, were you? I think this would have been a wonderful opportunity to teach Maggie that useful skill! :)
