ABC Quilt

Posted on May 13, 2013 | 10 comments

I bought an alphabet panel a couple of years ago. It was on sale at a quilt show. It is the only panel I have ever bought, and it was designed to be sewn into a fabric ABC book.

Since my granddaughter is having another birthday (all of my grandchildren refuse to remain babies), I decided I had better get this done.

I’m not making a book. I’ve chosen to sew the letters into a quilt. She can drag it around, and have picnics on it, and give her dolls naps with it.

It isn’t fancy, but it is finished, and a little girl will have fun using it!

The quilting isn’t fancy, but it should hold up well with a lot of use.
