Finally Finished!!!

Oh my goodness, I can finally say that I finished a quilt I started making two years ago for my daughter's first grade teacher.

Keep in mind, I am a new quilter.  Okay, I say new quilter, but this is my fifth finish.  The others I made were not even close to being this difficult.  Those are all little individual 1.5 inch squares that were cut and sewn together.  I saw something like this on Pinterest, and thought, "That's cute ... I can do that!"  I had NOOOO idea how difficult it would be.

These are the hand prints of all the students in J-bug's first grade class, along with the teacher's.  Below is a picture of the heart.

Then I used freezer paper to make a stencil and painted the saying below.

 I'm kind of disappointed, some of my letters globbed together through the stencil, and it didn't do that on my practice run.  

Oh well, I am proud of it!  I know her teacher will love it!

Thanks for checking in!
