So I squared them up and decided to add a sashing. I used a quilt-as-you-go sashing. I think it gave the individual parts more definition. I also had to sew down some of the decorations, because the students had used white glue, paint and hot glue to add their decorations and pieces of felt and these were falling off. It was difficult to sew through them, but after much calculating, cutting, sweating and hand sewing, I came up with this.

Mimi: "Meow! I'm not staying. I'm just passing through!"
"Thanks Mimi." I think Mimi just wanted to be sure there would be lots of white cat hairs on the quilt when I take it over to the school tomorrow.
Yesterday we took another trip up to Haliburton to visit my mother who is still in the hospital up there, waiting for a space in a nursing home. On the way up there, we stopped at a roadside picnic spot to eat our lunch.

I am pleased to be able to tell you that my Mom looked well - probably the best I've seen her since her strokes and other problems and ultimate admission to the hospital. We took her outside to sit and visit with her in the warm sunshine. It was a nice way to end the summer.
Our next trip to Haliburton will probably not happen until the Thanksgiving long weekend. And by then they could have snow up there!

Love the quilt.
You might be sorry you did such a good job on that quilt...as the teacher may do this project with another class and you'll get asked to "rescue" the quilt again!!! LOL I'm glad the visit with your mom went well.
Glad your mom was doing a bit better!
The quilt is gorgeous! You did a great job with the sashings!
I like that felt quilt, what ages were the kids, do you know?
