At first I thought she wanted me to somehow sew the actual piece of paper into or onto something. But then I figured out that, no, this was a pattern and that she wanted me to duplicate it for her. J. put some serious time into this design. She used an 8 1/2 by 11 piece grid paper to draw out her design: 33 blocks by 43 blocks which equals out to 1,419 blocks!!!!
Anybody up for that quilting challenge?!
(When her mom mentioned to me a couple weeks later that J. had told her I was sewing something for her, I had to explain the whole story. Her mom just rolled her eyes and we laughed about it. I wish I was that good J., but I'm not.)
Holy smokes!
ReplyDeletewow!! She is one detail oriented kindergartner!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! Some day I will do a quilt using 1 1/2 squares. But it's way down at the bottom of my list. I've seen one done and it was very cool. Tiffany
ReplyDeleteSo I have been thinking about this little drawing for 3 days now. I drew up a sketch using EQ5. It is one too long and my colors are limited but I think I have a way to make it with less pain than individual squares. Random that this little drawing would strike me so? Probably but I love it. Give that sweet girl a high five for amazing color sensibility!
