Slow Sunday Stitching -- Noel Quilt & Green Problem Child Quilt Complete

 I took the Noel Quilt Panel project in my school bag this week.  Here it is in a kindergarten class.

Then it went with me to a 2nd/3rd & 4th grade gifted class.  Wow, some kids are really smart cookies.

At home in front of the tv I stitched and stitched the binding on this big green problem child quilt.  It is finished!  The fullness worked out and I think it looks great.  It will be a nice comfort quilt for someone.  I love the striped binding.  It measures 94.5" x 95".  It was purrrrfect to sit under and stitch.

The backing is fun.  I used a few holiday panels and neutral holiday scraps.

Inspector Candy and the striped cat walked through the frost-tipped grass to the check it out.

Candy instantly approved the tree-skirt panel on the back.

This colorful crib quilt got to go to 3rd grade this week.  I love the way the desks are arranged in this classroom.  There's plenty of room to walk around and help students.  There was a lot of participation during class discussions.

I finished it on Thursday:

I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.
