Teacher for a day

My youngest wanted to make a few more cushions/pillows for the sofa bed in her room, and she also wanted to try her hand at foundation piecing.

So, yesterday we had a Hit the scrap basket day & this is what she finished with.
They are all blocks from Vintage quilt revival.
On this one she had a play with colour value opposits 

This next block is the same pattern as the one above, she just turned the quarter pieces 180 & pieced with the squares as center after my encouraging her to Do her own thing as pattern & instructions are only there as guidelines.


We both loved the pinwheel block & it wasn't lost on us that the multicoloured polka dot fabric was scrap from the baby quilt I made for her during the extra two weeks she kept us waiting for her appearance.


This star was her favourite & left her mommy very impressed, how well did she cope with those partial seams ! 


and another pinwheel, because she found them really fun to do.


So she's happy & has again taken the other sewing machine into her bedroom along with a bundle of white to construct her pillows. Love that all my daughters love to sew.
