Today just flew by! Had an award breakfast for Jenna this morning and dentist appt this afternoon. Squeeze in working and before I know it, it is 5:30! Since Jenna graduates in less than 4 weeks I thought I had better get started on her graduation quilt! I had the design figured out and bought fabrics in Paducah! I just had to start! So I had Holly sign the first block and I made it up into a block last night for her to see before she went back to school today. Now to get the rest of the relatives and friends to sign blocks!
I don't know if I ever showed this quilt. But I was putting up new spring/summer quilts and decided this one should get a turn. It just looked happy to me today. So I thought I would share a picture of it.

Dawn, that is going to be one special keepsake for Jenna - she's going to love it *s*
I just cleaned my chest/box in my house (so that I can fitt all my paducahstuff somewhere ) and I found chickenfabric and eggs.... One day I want to make a quilt for in my kitchen. But I delete it in my mind ...now seeing yours I think I need to make it . It is a happy quilt Dawn :-)
Sweet text from Holly to her sister !
Your daughter is going to love her quilt and those chickens are very happy! Congrats to the soon to be graduate.
That's a really lovely signature block - what a wonderful keepsake that quilt will be. Love the chicken quilt but we don't 'do' chickens in our house as DD1 is terrified of them and so thinks we're teasing her if we do - and she's the roughy toughy rugby player - go figure!
Dawn I love that saying about sisters. Lovely work too.
I love it when work days go that quickly!
Love the chicken quilt. It looks perfect with the chickens on the shelf above it!
Looks like a good start for Jenna's quilt!
I'M sure jenna will treasure this quilt, Which charm packs did you buy? I have some by moda and am curious what you are doing with yours, LOL I will stay tuned
Your graduation quilt is going to be a wonderful keepsake for your daughter Jenna. Congratulations to her on this happy occasion!
Great block!
Is your quilt going to have the same color placement for every block, or are you going to do some with red/blue in different places, but the sig. block always in the middle?
Hi Dawn, busy, busy, busy you! The block with the tribute is lovely. What fun and what a keepsake..*VBS* Love the new hall way offering. Very pretty set up you have there, very prim..looks just like things you love. Hugs, Finn
I love the graudation quilt. I took squares and set them out with fabric markers at my DD's high school graduation last year. All our family and friends took a square and wrote well wishes, fond memories etc on them and I will be making her a quilt from them...eventually, lol!

Thank you for sharing all the beautiful antique quilts. I want to make them all! I love your chinese coins as well and the quilting is awesome. I am looking forward to seeing more of the graduation quilt. Take care.
