Just over a week ago, my daughter had the great idea to make her teacher a quilt as her teacher gift. As this has been her favorite teacher and she's had her twice, I thought that was a reasonable request. I pulled some patterns and fabric and Jenna picked out the ones she liked. We decided on black and gold as her teacher is a graduate of Purdue.
She worked well with me last Sunday to press all the fabric and snip the chain piecing apart while I made the blocks...but her interest waned after that. I got all the blocks made by Friday and finished the quilt top yesterday. I made the back and loaded it onto my frame yesterday, so it is ready for quilting. We still have a week left, as the last day of school isn't until June 9.
Fabric added this week: 0 yards
Fabric used this week: 6 1/2 yards
Fabric added year to date: 6 3/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 111 1/2 yards
Net fabric used: 105 1/8 yards
I guess I better get going now on the gifts for our bus driver and my son's teacher...
