I had the opportunity 2 years ago to be a part of this amazing project. A private school principal had her students very artfully "draw" their signatures on white cotton fabric and I stitched it up into a quilt! I just love the creativity the students have. They are given a "theme" which is a verse from the bible.. . and students stick to that theme. This year it was all about the stars and heavens.
The background blue is their school shade of blue, and the kids wanted BRIGHT colors for accents so I use bright scrappy cornerstones! I love the way these always turn out and hope I get to do more of them in the future.
Here are the white squares of fabric that I cut, and are ready to send off for the kids to "decorate."
After I receive the finished squares back from the mail, I pin them on the wall and arrange, rearrange, and arrange some more until I go crazy ;c)
I got to fill out ONE square this year!! I used the school name ;c)
Here is the finished TOP before quilting
and all the finished quilt photos!
Do you know what they used to draw? Permanent marker?
