"Do you want a pillow or a quilt?"...

- "A QUILT!!!" ....my young daughter answered me, when I asked her: "You want me to make you a pillow or a quilt?"
I had two panels with the very well known cartoon character, SpongeBob Squarepants. Wonderful printed, nice colors!

A quilt then...
I had to do a sketch, for me, to know how it will look, and also for her, much easy to see how her future quilt will be. 
She even made some changes, that I've followed of course; for example she removed the border with those triangles. First I wanted to do something similar with my second quilt, a border with red triangles. It seems more difficult, but the change she made, actually saved me from a lot of work!
 Having the tools and all the fabrics...I was ready to start!
 First block...."Bubbles Time", bubbles to be....
 
The second one....and the rest...


  
 All these blocks are pretty big, but this was her choice, too...
Well, is ready to bind, ready for handquilting.
 Oh, but where is my quilt? A... Now I can see someone already using it!
  There she is, already sleeping! Cozy thing. What a good quilt!  
 In that folder, with this quilt pictures, I found some of my old daughter's drawings. All of them seem to me quite good. First one, was a project for school, the second one, some characters she love. 
She improved her drawing a lot, since then.

 We were both at the beginning....
 Happy sewing!!
