My Granddaughters Quilt

The next project I would like to share is my 4 1/2 year old Granddaughters quilt.

My daughter redid her room and it is pink!!

So I had my daughter come to the house to pick fabrics and this is what she chose.

All but the red/aqua floral are Bloom and Bliss from Riley Blake Designs.

I still piece and quilt by hand. So here in pictures is the progression from start to finish.

 Sets of two become blocks.

 Blocks get laid out in a pleasing pattern.

 Basting, worst job on the planet!!

The part I love the best, Hand Quilting!!

A finish!

She also chose Bloom and Bliss for the backing.

And I am going to leave you with this...

My father was a newspaper man. He printed and sold TV guides to newspapers. When they were at the end of a run he would frequently print coloring books for us to take to school. The nuns would be thrilled and as a little girl I was so proud. They would ask him to stay and read a book. He would always read Green Eggs and Ham.
When a picture of this mug was posted on Instagram I knew I wanted to own it. Thank you sweet IG friend for helping me find the mug and giving me these memories.
