Preschool Art Quilt



T's teacher is having a baby next month so I decided to sew her a baby quilt. I had all the children in the class paint on fabric and then I sewed it up with a flannel backing and quilted it. I added a picture of the class making silly faces on the back. I also sewed some ribbons into the binding so it can be tied onto the stroller and not fall off (or the kid can just play with them). This was a fun project that didn't take tooooooo long. I hope to be able to make a similar one with Talia's art. So many ideas, so little time!

I am helping my daughter make a preschool quilt. The plan is the kids can take their block home at the end of the year. I cut 8 inch blocks and then punched holes an inch apart around the block (750 holes). I am hoping the kids can sew the blocks together with a plastic needle and yarn. I love your quilt. Nana
