Family handprint quilt




In November, my family was talking about what to do for my mom for Christmas. My daughter in law made a suggestion of a handprint quilt so when people were together for Thanksgiving, handprints were traced and I began to design a quilt. For this a simple 9 patch would do. Each handprint has on it the name of the person that handprint came from. Here you'll find photos of the quilt and also the center block. The finished quilt is 45" x 60" and there is space enough to add additional handprints.
