Kaitlyn's Quilt

Kailtyn decided she wanted to make a quilt for one of her 10 hour
Young Women's projects. Her Beehive class worked on making one
together and she thought it was so fun and cute she wanted to make one
of her own. Of course when it comes to making quilts we
called on Grandma Gwilliam to help us.



We had fun shopping for the fabrics and then the cutting began...

Thanks to Grandma's expertise and quilting set up
(TV mounted on the wall right in front of the sewing maching)
Kaitlyn was able to sew away while watching her favorite
TV shows - along with some sports that Grandma always enjoys.


It's starting to come together.
She definitely completed her 10 hours + on this project.


One of the hardest parts was cutting all the
seam allowances after it was sewn together.
It's called a rag quilt. The more you wash
it the better the fringe looks.
The finished product!

We all love how it turned out.
Thanks for your help Grandma.
