With that said here are a couple pictures of Grace. Since she hasn't been to school this week and has decided to get creative with fabric. I helped with the sewing but she did all the fabric picking and arranging, etc. and created her own little quilt top.
The thread kept breaking so we didn't get very far tonight. I think it's probably because she's moving the machine so slllllooooooowwwww and I turned the speed down. I think when we go back at it tomorrow I will turn the speed up a bit. Crazy thing is, she gets it. She made a flower on one of the first blocks. I asked what she was doing and she said Well making a flower of course. Such attitude. :-)
On the design wall is another t-shirt quilt, which I will spare you pictures of. I'm working on a "I Spy" top. I used my Go cutter hexagon and triangle dies. So have I mentioned that I LOVE my Go cutter? I love working with the shapes that I wouldn't normally cut myself. Hexagons definitely on that list.
The top has grown since I took the picture. The hexagons are cut from 6" blocks that I cut from the remains of other baby quilts and just threw in a box. That's a perfect size to put on the die and not have a lot of waste.
School has been cancelled already for tomorrow. I suspect we will finish quilting a quilt top and have pictures to show.
Have a great night.

Wonderful!!!! I love it that she gets it. Just think how much she will do in the years ahead. Awesome!! Can't wait for the pics.
I can't think of a better way to spend a day...she is adorable and doing so well.
It's great that your daughter seems to love something you love, too. I predict many years of fun quilting together! And your hexagons are great. I have made 6 hexagon I Spy quilts and they are really fun. The red star points are super.
Wow...freemotion quilting too...great job Becky!
Best Wishes
