Quilting

How about quilting the winter away and getting school credit for a job well done?  Ann Marie and Kailee each took on a quilting project for the second semester of school and recently completed their individual quilts. 

My mom was their sewing teacher and she did such a great job of teaching the girls how to sew.  They chose their fabric colors and got busy measuring a grid on their different fabric colors.  A grid of six squares with each divided to make 12 triangles.  A grid makes quick work of creating lots of triangles and squares! 

Ann Marie's quilt is for a twin size bed with a flying geese pattern, made from bright batik fabric.  She spent about 60 hours making her quilt.

Kailee's quilt is a lap size quilt with a diamond pattern.  She spent about 35 hours working on her quilt.
Great job girls!  And thanks Grandma for helping them complete such wonderful quilts that they will have for many years to come!
