Kindergarten Quilt 2010

Well 3 years ago I made a quilt for Madison's Kindergarten class after much begging from her teacher. I said I would never do another one! Well unfortnately I am eating my words. After several months of Jacob's teacher begging me I have given in! This quilt is comprised of a piece of 6x6 swatch from each student of something that they had when they were little that meant a lot to them. Well not all of the students submitted a 6x6 size swatch so we had to cut them all down to the smallest piece turned in. So the quilt will only be lap size this year! This is all based on a booked called Owen by Kevin Henkes. The story is about a little mouse who goes off to school for the first time. It is very hard for him so his mom cuts a small piece of his favorite blanket to carry in his pocket so he can make it through the day! So that is why the quilt is being made. It will be given away at a raffle at the end of the school year. When I made Madison's I was so hoping to get to keep hers but we did not win the raffle. She had a really good friend win it so we get to see it occasionally! I am truly hoping we get to keep this one! Crossing my fingers! With the help of a good friend I am well on my way of getting this one done!
