I went to my daughter's class and each of the students designed a square. I took the squares home and sewed them together. This time I wanted to sew them on point to make it a bit different. She liked orange/turquoise so I had the orange around the border to keep the turquoise in the middle.

This is the back of the quilt. I tied in the orange/turquoise here.
These will be end of the year gifts for the teachers, from the students.

I am going to be participating in the Doll quilt swap #8. This should be fun. These are all thing that I think are lovely. But partner, if you are reading this look at these as things that make me sing, but you make something that does that for you and I will love it!! Bright modern and different are all things that are ooo sooo cool. I am trying to decide what I will do for my partner. She does not comment much and hopefully I will see her style and mix it with something I have wanted to try.
