Children's Hands Handmade Quilt
/Children’s Hand Handmade Quilt
I found this charming Children’s Hands Handmade Quilt and wall hanging in the church community room where our local master gardeners meet. The handmade quilt happened to be made under the direction of a gardening friend who happened to be at the same meeting so I was privy to some of the inside stories of how this was made.
The fabrics of this custom handmade quilt are interesting. Turns out the quilt fabrics were hand dyed, giving the charming custom quilt a rainbow effect.
Each hand also has the name of the child at the bottom of each quilt block.
Harriet shared that they added what the children did in the margins, a lovely way to mark their accomplishments and celebrate them at the same time.
Stippling quilting gives this custom handmade quilt a third dimension.
Now here’s how all of the handmade quilt blocks look together.
Such a simple design, the outline of a child’s hand. And yet every hand looks just a little different - in size, shape and dimension.
