I was contacted earlier this month about making a quilt for a ‘graduating’ class of preschoolers at Friendly Forest Preschool. It will be hung on a wall in the school as a legacy from the class of 20 kids. I met with one of the moms to select fabrics. We started with a cute lizard print for the background and a coordinating stripe for binding. Then we picked several matching solid colors.
One of the moms cut the solid fabrics into squares and each child put their hand print on one square. The wall space available for the quilt is 3 feet high by 10 feet long, so the quilt will be about 30 inches by 60 inches. I’ve put borders on each hand printed square, and decided on a layout. The blank area with have a fused image of the preschool’s logo. It’s going to be a fun and colorful quilt!
