This quilt is an example of taking your obsession to work with you!
Last week I had all the children in my class design a panel about themselves using Fabric Crayons, I then took the panels home and made them into a Class Quilt. The quilt is currently hanging on a display board in my classroom. We will hold a "Names in the Hat" at the end of the year and the lucky winner will be able to take the Class Quilt home with them. They are all keen to win.
On Saturday Georgia was keen to practise sewing on the machine. She found a pack of Swell Charm squares in my sewing room and with a little assistance from me made this great bag. She is going to use it to take her things to dancing in!
Don't forget ladies only 6 days left until my Blogoversary!! Happy Stitching,
Cathy

OH I LOVE THAT bag... you dont need it! send it to me - the colours are georgeous.
That quilt idea is fantastic. I am thinking - if I can copy I might suggest this to the teacher and do the same... Did you use calico or home spun for the blocks???

Your class project turned out very well! I am sure the children will envy the winner...
