I made another quilt with my Kindergarten kids! This one is for one of the Kindergarten assistant teachers. She is having a baby in August! We are all thrilled for her! We are having a shower for her before work tomorrow.
Last week, I had each of the kids make their own design in a rectangle. I used the rectangles as the outer border on the second side of the quilt (I hate to call it the back!).
The first side of the quilt is inspired by a quilt made by Amy at DuringQuietTime. I loved the New York Beauty blocks as a sunshine. I just enlarged the idea with more scrappy borders. I quilted a swirl in the sun, outlined the rays, and put some swirls around the sun. The rest of the borders were just meandered (except I wrote my name in the green border with the quilting-I don't think you can see it in the picture, though.)

| This is where I wrote my name (and a heart!). |

Hi, Laura!! I love that you got the class involved. That makes such a personal touch. My mentor teacher made one for me when I student taught 1st grade 15 years ago. Each child contributed a block. I treasure that quilt!
