My oldest granddaughter is graduating high school this year, so I’m working on a memory quilt. Since my quilting knowledge is very limited, it’s more like sewing big squares and then tying it all together. It’s made with her collection of event t-shirts from the volley ball and swim team, homecoming, mascot and other special events that she participated in during her years of higher learning. If all goes well, there will be one square with filet crochet and it will be completed before the band plays Pomp and Circumstance.
Carol thank you for joining us on the Dishcloth-a-Day Challenge.

I love this dishcloth patten it looked to me like it had Pansies all over it. Great job. Barbara
I did this one in a variegated yarn like shown – but the stitch is so pretty, I would do it in a plain color if I did it again. Nice work!
