A quilt for Leah

You can read about the beginning of Lauren and Leah's quilts here.  I have to do a blog post next about Lauren's quilt!   We had cut the triangles for Leah's quilt 2 3/4" instead of the usual 3 3/4" because the print was a lot smaller.  We did three sets of repeats to get enough hexagons for a small twin quilt for her bed.  By the time I had stitched all 29 rows of half hexagons, I was ready to be finished with this quilt LOL.

the solid cubes in the quilt were designed by Leah and carefully transported to Grandma's sewing machine on a mini cutting mat

beautifully done . Great idea to include the recipient in the planning and piecing.

So wonderful to work with your grandchild and let her have input. She'll remember this always!
