Preschool Quilt

 Last week in my preschool we focused on the letter Q.  And of course Q is for quilt, so we made one.

Each child picked a color then I cut out three white blocks and 3 color blocks.  The children used their awesome patterning skills to put their row in the right order. 

That night I sewed the blocks together.  I choose to have this a binding-less quilt so the process would go faster.  (However when I sandwiched my fabrics and batting together I did them in the wrong order so that when I turned the quilt right side out, the batting was on the outside! Well, an hour of unpicking and then sewing it back together it was finally time for quilting.)


The next day at preschool I painted the kids hands and "stamped" their row.  They were so proud of the quilt.  It is now complete and heading to our local hospital for a little kid in need.
