A Teenager Could Do It

 

One of my famous things to say is - 

"This is so easy a teenager could do it."

I think my teens are ready to kill me.

Months ago I tried making a spiderweb block.

Loved it.  

It was really fun,

 pretty simple.

 Yes, I loved it so much

 I made 4. 

 

Well, my younger daughter always 

makes a quilt for the fair and

 time was running out and 

she hadn't come up with anything, so....  

I said, "Hey, this block is awesome, 

super easy, you'll love it."

Everyone, 

say it with me --

 "It's so easy a teenager could do it."

Granted I said this before I had even sewn my piddly 4 red blocks together.  Sewing them together, you find that you really shouldn't pull to make them fit, and maybe I would have done the center a little differently.

But the cutting and sewing on this quilt 

had already begun.

This quilt is an great scrap buster.

It was made from little 5" strips 

that were leftover from when we make charm packs 

and a couple of 6" charm packs of Sugar Hill.

It started out to be a lap quilt,

then a twin,

and ended up at a queen.

A LOT

of sewing and pressing!

 

Kathy of Stitch by Stitch 

squeezed us in to meet the fair deadline.

Thank you , Thank you Kathy!

 

She's an amazing longarm quilter 

and does such a nice job.  

Kathy has quilted many a quilt for us.

Her button is on our sidebar, so she's easy to find.
Get your quilts in soon for Christmas gift giving,
 but not before me! :)

My daughter scored big at the county and state fairs.

This was entered in the "pieced category";

it can be machine quilted by someone else.

Here's another one of her fair quilts -- 

the year I told her a dresden plate was

"So easy a teenager could do it."  :)
