Teaching girls to quilt with 'Quilts for Kids'



At my daughter's school,  I am teaching a group of 7th & 8th graders the basics on how to quilt after school one day a week. They are each making a quilt for  The 'Quilts for Kids' organization.

*A GREAT organization, BTW*

Scrap Quilt for Fenway


My boxer pup, Fenway has 1 chair that she sits in. ( she isn't supposed to, but we all know that she does when we are not looking)



So I decided to hit my stash to whip her up a quilt of her own to cover the chair with ( not to mention the fact that when I am sewing, she lays all over everything that I am working on.)..

I'm liking the top so much that I am having second thoughts..... maybe she needs something simpler?

Wow, my first blog ever...

here is the quilt top for a quilt that I have been working on for nearly 2 years. It is for Mine & my husband's bed.

Although I do love it, I am debating whether or not to change the second fabric from the center, the one with the darker blue, It just doesn't seem to flow...

My husband says I'm nuts, he's afraid that I might ruin all of my hard work.

I'm just afraid that I'll spend the next 30 years telling myself that I should have changed it when I could.....

we'll see...
