I have finally finished the school quilt! I am so relieved that I finished on time and that it looks as good as it does! It has a few funky waves but I am the only one who really cares :)
I think the heavy quilting adds interest and dimension--plus it covers up the puckering situation from early on.
I'm not sure I ever fully explained what this project is. I wanted to create a celebration quilt for our school's 50th anniversary celebration/fundraising dinner on May 7. Each child and teacher in the school drew their face on a fabric head. I attached them to the quilt and sewed on the correct hair. I am going to ask my dad to help me build a frame to attach the quilt to and hang it in the school. There you have it!
Here are the stats:
Number of heads on the quilt: 140
Number of hours to complete: 100
Number of spools of thread used: 10
Size: 41"x48"
This quilt finish qualifies me to be entered in AmyLouWho's sew and tell giveaway! Did you finish anything THIS WEEK that you could enter?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, Carin!!!! You have no idea how much I appreciate all the hard work you put into it. You are treasured!
What a wonderful piece of art for your school!
OMG! that is so wonderful. What a wonderful remembrance!
Fantastic! I really hope that the person who buys this quilt gives it to the school, otherwise I am sure they are going to ask you to make another one - if they do, make sure you say no - or charge them a whole bunch of money! :)
You did a beautiful job Carin. Looking at the finished quilt you can't tell at all that you had a problem with the puckers.
Blessings,
