Matt L is a student at the high school where I work. I found out on Thursday that he had a heart attack over the summer and had to have open heart surgery. He is a senior this year. What a way to start your senior year! The students are making cards for him and one of the teachers is bringing those cards to him tomorrow. I said I would like to make a quilt for him and this is what I came up with. I used my favorite pattern, the Buttonberry Stashbuster pattern because I already had the fabric cut out and it takes about 30 minutes to sew together the squares, another 15 minutes to arrange them and then in a couple of hours you have a quilt ready to go. I got it done this weekend and it will be ready to deliver tomorrow. 
The back of the quilt is a cheater panel of patriotic prints that I have about 10 more yards of. I have it loaded on the quilting machine so I think I will quilt up a few more of these tops I have sitting around.
Michael starts preschool tomorrow and needed a nap mat cover. This is what I came up with. The school sells these for $11 each. They are 28 inches wide by 50 inches long and are really just giant pillowcases. I made his out of African safari fabric so during his rest time, he will have something to look at. He is so excited to be starting school. Can you tell?
