Dick and Jane Go To School

Okay maybe not the best title, but it's not too late if you have a better suggestion. I can easily change the tag. Neil suggested, Fun Bubbles for a title. I really need something that works here.

This is the quilt I made for the Harvest Hoedown at Marcus' school. Each of his classmates wrote their name on a block, and some drew pictures. I themed this around Dick and Jane because I wanted to do something different than the Cat in the Hat quilt I made for Mrs. T two years ago. It's a little smaller than that quilt was but I really love all the bright colors, and the kids did a really great job with their names and spelling different words and trying to follow instructions. I did much better this time around by taping up 1/2 inch around the edges of the blocks so they wouldn't write in the seam allowance. That was a huge success, i'm patting myself on the back for that one.

So my thanks to Mrs. T, Marcus (and his Jedi Starfighter), Cole (and his dog), Toby, Taylor, Mckenna (who drew the cutest girl on a bike), Jasmin (who makes cute hearts and rainbows), Isabella, Daniel, Rachel (and her tree), Alexia, Talon (and his great alphabet), Jessica, Shyanne, David (in the nick of time), and Brody (awesome car Brody).

If you wish to see it, it will be at the school in the silent auction during the Harvest Hoedown on Thursday night. Hope for high bids- it's for Marcus' class.
