What was your inspiration?

My daughter asked me to help her make a quilt for her dance team coach. We had each girl write on a 10 inch square of fabric with freezer paper on the back. I created a photo collage of the team for a center square and a Dedication block with the team name, year, and the name of their dance.

What are you most proud of?

The girls and the sweet things they had to write to their coach! I wanted this to be a simple quilt to really highlight that, and I think it worked out well!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Test out your markers to make sure they write well on the fabric, don't bleed and are waterproof!
