My daughter Robin is graduating from High School this year and I just found out that our youth's church group are going to tie quilts for the senior girls on May 14th. The hitch is that the mother's are putting together the quilt tops for their daughters prior to the quilting bee. The idea is that the girls all have their quilts before graduation on June 3rd.
What a panic. I don't know how I missed this memo, but a lot has been going on in my life. Thank-goodness for my other daughter, she came to the rescue. She had planned to make Robin a quilt for graduation anyway and had cut all these squares for a rag quilt. The two of us decided to collaborate on the quilt to get it done. I picked an easy nine patch quilt pattern of 30 18" blocks. The squares are already cut except for a the one's I'm filling in with. She cut the squares, I am sewing the blocks together. Both of us will work on organizing and piecing the quilt top together.
I won't be here on the May 14th, I will be on the plane flying across the United States to D.C. for my son's graduation from Georgetown Law, so my daughter will be attending the quilting bee with Robin to get her quilt tied. Thank goodness for family!!! My daughter's are awesome! They really pitch in when needed.
I started last night and finished four nine patch blocks.
I showed Robin what I had so far and she loves it!
I created this picture collage to give you an idea of what it might look like pieced together.
