I love your colors and know your daughter's teachers will love their quilts. What a great and thoughtful gift!

What a beautiful quilt! I am going to a retreat at the end of March and will be making a 1600 inch quilt. I have been trying to decide which fabrics to use - thanks so much for posting this! And by the way, I thought I was the only person with a female cat named Larry! A stray had kittens, three of them looked almost identical so we named them Larry, Daryl and Daryl (from the old Bob Newhart show with Larry, my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl) Of course after we named them, they all turned out to be female! The vet's office got confused when I wanted Larry spayed!

Love your fabrics. I have a top done out of a Bali Pop. The fabric collection was called "Cappuccino". They really are lots of fun to put together. I still have to put the borders on too. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

How do you do that? Just sew the strips together in a long line and then sew back and forth? It is really pretty. I think Moda has some really pretty modern prints out.

Lovely and I really like that you are showing the teachers appreciation...very special. Have you thought about a muslin
backing with a scrappy binding made of all the fabrics?

I have a section that I might add to the back. My strip got tangled up so I could not cut the fold even so I had one section that I had to trim off.
