My daughter's German Preschool Teacher asked me if I could come in to teach the children about quilts and quilting next week! Fun. I can't wait! For the Craft time, I am preparing little kits for reach child to make their own blocks. They will all get tree parts.
And there will a mixed bag of squares, rectangles, and triangles to make houses (or whatever else they decide to make)!
I'm also going to give them each a big square of muslin for the backing. I figure they can glue-stick their shapes on. My plan is to take the blocks home and applique it all. There are only ten kids in my daughter's class. Then I'll decide on sashing and a border. I saw a quilt like this once with paper-pieced children all around. How sweet! I could get that started now.
Or I could add those awesome cute gnomes! Have you seen these!? Sonja rocks AND she's Canadian.

I have some pretty red ric-rac to embellish the quilt with too. That would look very festive I'm sure! ; )
