Britton's kindergarten teacher is pregnant with her first baby, and through Britton I have learned: (1) that she was pregnant in the first place, and (2) is having a girl she'll name Sophia. I realize now that I've put a lot of faith in Britton's word, as I made her teacher a quilt based entirely on Britton's assertion that she is having a girl! Well, it's pretty gender-neutral in case Britton got the details wrong.
I had a charm pack of "30s Playtime" from Chloe's Closet for Moda, and I knew I wanted to make an Irish Chain quilt. The fabric is all reproductions of 1930s feed sack-type fabrics, and perfect for a baby.
The backing is an alphabet print I picked up on clearance from Joanns.
The binding is a blue with red/pink flowers. I had to pick something that tied the front to the back, and the back had no pink or purple, so that was out. And you just know I had the perfect pink polka dot picked out! But the blue flowered works well here. Don't you love that hedgehog?
I straight-line stitched through each nine patch, then stitched this flower made of hearts in the middle of each white solid block. I love how it turned out!
I'm giving the quilt to Britton's teacher at kindergarten graduation in two weeks!
