Ms Amy's Sunflowers

 Ms Amy created Springs Dual Language Academy in 2014. On opening day she had 13 students. Now, 2023, there are more than 200 in Tk through 8th grade. Ezekiel is thriving in the second grade. 

Ms. Amy retires this year. I made this special quilt to be signed by teachers, parents and students in her honor. 

All the fabrics making up the blades are sunflower fabrics! 

A few orphan blocks from another project matched the colors. 

A generous sized lap quilt with a thick cotton batting. 

Large Granny Squares

Starting with 4" solid squares and using the Jenny Doan technique for setting on point squares (search YouTube for missouri star turnabout granny squares for idea) I made 4 squares with muted solid leftovers and then put them aside a few years. Searching recently for another project I found the 4 blocks. Set them, and found the border fabric in my stripes stash box. Decided to miter the stripe corners and free motion it. Done!

And one more dog quilt

 I buy a quarter yard of dog or cat or animal fabric when I find them on sale and just cut them into 5 inch squares. Then making a 36 inch quilt is as simple as picking out 40 and arranging them using the technique I learned from Missouri Star of 2 25 square squares (The setting squares run diagonally) then cutting each in half on the diagonal. Re set the 4 pieces,  add a 3 inch border and back with doggy flannel. That's it!
