Sewing Together

This morning my 9yo and I were sewing... She was working on a quilt for her teacher.  She is using the fabric she got from her brother for her birthday, and a couple of prints I picked up for her last week.  She is making a disappearing 9 patch quilt with 9 square in it, each strip started as 6 inches.  She has 4 blocks completed, and another 4 9-patches  ready to cut for the disappearing 9-patches.

I worked on the baby quilt (UFO #5).  I decided just to use 2 of the blocks and add another small block made from scraps... and I used the yellow, and a strip of the green polka dots.  The finished top is 37x44".  Now to make the backing...


Oh and I think its time for a new iron :( Mine seems to have developed a leak... ok its more than a leak, it might be a whole, the water comes out quite quickly. So in the past year, I have had a can opener, 2 kettles and now an iron die :(

It's so great that daughter likes to sew. My teenager knows how to sew and quilt but her social life is getting in the way right now. :O)

Love the baby quilt too! You did a great job.
