A quilt for Lauren's Lamb

My granddaughter, Lauren came over a few weeks ago and saw some quilt blocks that I had received at my quilt guild the evening before from a tinner project. A half metre of fabric was placed in a coffee tin and a theme taped to the inside of the lid. We had to make a 12 1/2" block using some of the fabric on that theme. Lauren loved the various blocks and then said that her beanie baby lamb, Euwy, would love to have her own quilt :-). I asked her what kind of quilt the lamb would like and she pointed to the lemoyne star block from the tinner project. I led her to my fabric stash and asked her what colours she'd like...she immediately picked up a pink floral fat quarter...that girl knows just what she likes LOL. I was teaching a quilt class that evening and used her chosen fabrics to make a test block....multi tasking :-). Here is a picture of the block I emailed to Lauren for her approval. An email arrived in my inbox saying that Lauren liked the block and so did Euwy.


I finished the binding last night while Lauren sat beside me wondering how a needle with thread could go through fabric :-). Here Euwy is getting wrapped up in her new quilt:

I'm thinking that maybe this young lady is ready to try her hand at some sewing of her own soon!
