I actually have a design in the works. For the past few years I have made one or two quilts to auction at Little S's elementary school each Spring. You can check out all the past quilts:
2017 B,
2017 D,
2016 W,
2016 D,
2015 D,
2014 D. That was a fun trip down memory lane going back and looking them up.

Anyways, Little S has now moved on to middle school, but the teacher who got me started is still at the elementary school, so I agreed to make another this year.

| a few greens here |
A few weeks ago I got the white squares back that the students had designed. I am wanting to do something a bit different this year.

She suggested green and I have plenty of green since one of College E's college choices had green as their predominate color and I thought I was clever stocking up. Check out
this post to see what I ended up making for her that definitely was not green!

| testing the design |
My plan is a variation of the
Missouri Star Quilt Company Two Step quilt for the main block. I think I will only have one fabric instead of two around each of the white blocks. Since it is a "signature" quilt I don't want to take too much attention away from the kids' squares.
Linking up to
Small Quilts and Doll Quilts to show what's in the works!

I love the quilt you are making with all of the children's designs.
