This is a pretty special quilt because little miss E was a very important part of making it.
I don't know if she'll grow up to be a quilter, but she'll be able to say that she made her 1st quilt at 4 years old.
She had requested a pink quilt. I asked her if she was sure she wanted a pink one, she replied, "Yes, please, because pink is perfect!" - thus the quilt name. 😉 I let her go through my bin of pink fabrics and select which ones she wanted to include and we ended up with "all the pinks!"
We looked at a few patterns and she chose this one...Plan C
from this book
I made all the flying geese ahead of time in order to simplify our day when she came back
We also chose to make it a little bigger since the original was just 32 x 32. I showed her how to lay everything out and let the designer choose where each fabric went. During our time together she piped up, " It's like a puzzle, Gram!"
It is indeed, sweet girl.
I let her sit on my lap and showed her how to feed the fabric through the machine while I worked the foot pedal.
Her first 4-patches
Piano key border for the win!
She chose a pink Minky (the only choice according to her. 😆) for the backing
Jackie and Sandy used this fun design called Timeless Hearts for the quilting
And this pink print was selected for the binding
Once I got it bound, and created a label that has both of our names on it, it was wrapped and will soon be gifted to the newest little quilter in the family. It finishes at 45"x45". Not a great shot of the quilt, but I couldn't bring myself to delete the mountains. 😉
This is a more accurate dipiction of the colors
At least until Pap came in and asked if she wanted to help him feed horses. 😂
