With some help from my mom (and the contribution of the sashing fabric) I got the quilt tops all sewn for the kids in Textiles to start quilting.
The fabric for the squares came from
FabMo, which is a great organization but these fabrics are not great for kids to quilt. They are thicker than the usual cottons. I will have to make sure that the needles they're using are very sharp. Next session we go back to buying quilting cottons, it's just easier.
