This finish is another one to tick of my 2016 FAL list - get the feeling that I know the end of quarter is just around the corner?!!
Again, this was made by a child for a child at a local Home Ed co-op I am part of. Whilst I had cut various size squares prior to the session, the children had free rein choosing their fabric and putting it together. This was made by a 9 year old boy and I think he did admirably seeing as he'd never used a sewing machine up until a few months ago.
This quilt finished at 30" x 30".
I freehand quilted it with a geometric design of straight line boxes and rectangles of varying sizes. It was the first time I have quilted this design and I really like how it has turned out.
The backing was cotton from IKEA and the scrappy binding was made up of binding leftover from all my recent quilts!
I am going to the group again tomorrow and will take all the finished quilts to show the show the children. I am very proud of their work and hope they will be too. x
What a super fun child quilt! Applause to the young boy who put it together, he did a FAB job.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will love their finishes. I like the quilting on this one.
ReplyDeleteFun quilting motif! I'll have to try that one. This little boy is into balance! His design is so symmetrical! GREAT JOB!
ReplyDeleteHe did a great job with the fabric selections. The quilting looks cool too. Congrats on another finish.
ReplyDeleteMade by small people! That's wonderful! (my favorite is the sheep fabric!) Congratulations on a wonderful finish! On behalf of the 2016 FAL hosts, thanks for playing along.
