What an enthusiastic bunch we had on Friday! Five of our regular home schooled girls, plus two of their friends, made seven pre-teen girls creating quilts for kids in need! Awesome!! We learned a new method called quilt-as-you-go using 2 1/2" to 4" strips.
Thank you Ellen for staying and helping the girls learn this new technique! (two of the girls were not posted because we need permission slips before putting up photos).

| First we laid down the backing fabric, topped it with the batting then starting adding our strips as Chiara is demonstrating here. |
