We're so proud of her, and of course, I wanted to make her a quilt remembrance of her hard work. I had not done a label before, so I think next time I'll make it and have it on before it's quilted, but this one works. We're so excited to see her celebrate her accomplishment! The quilt is a simple nine patch, starting with 8" blocks, then cut the sewn nine patch in quarters. Super simple, and I didn't use a pattern. The backing was just some large pieces I had on hand.
