I've been working on this quilt for the last couple of weeks with my friend Rachelle.
It's a gift for her daughter's preschool teacher. She thought some little hand prints on the wall for her would be sweet.
I think she's right. They are SO sweet.
This is my favorite block. Maybe it's the red. But probably it's the little person behind the hand!
I am loving this little quilt so much!
I'm going to be quilting this up today. I'm planning to quilt-in-the-ditch in each seam on the hand print blocks, and then do my loopy quilting in the grey areas.
All super-pinned and ready to go!
And look what's been blooming in my front yard! It's my Rose Tree of China bush. It's my very favorite thing in our yard. Three years ago it was just three little twigs. Now it's humongous!
This proves that Spring really is here in Idaho. Finally!
I'm linking up here today:
I hope everyone's having a great week!
that hand print quilt is super cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the hand print quilt! That is so sweet. Did you stitch over the kids' signatures or are they written on?
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a wonderful idea! May I ask what kind of paint you used for the handprints and how you made them in general? This would be great for any teacher I think!

ReplyDeleteOh Diane, I love your handprint quilt! The different colors and the gray is just perfect!! I keep thinking of changing how I did mine - but I just need to be done and get it quilted. :) BUT, I will have to remember this for next year.
