Custom Handprint Quilt, School Years quilt, lasting memory quilt, lap quilt, throw quilt, personalized by you with handprints.
This year my son is in Kindergarten so this quilt is fitting to us! This quilt is meant to create a lasting memory for your child throughout their School Age Years! It will include a Handprint Square which is embroidered with each year of school (Kindergarten - 8th Grade or Kindergarten thru Senior). I will also embroider your child's name in a larger font at the top of the quilt. Your child can place their handprint and name or message each year. I would be thrilled to make one for you!
The SAMPLE quilts pictured show the styles chosen by my clients and my son (all Star Wars in our house!). Your quilt will be customized to your color and theme be it sports, dance, hobbies and/or school colors. If I can find the fabric, we can match your needs! The quilts are made with 100% Cotton fabric and cotton batting in between. I straight-line quilt, so the beauty of your handprints or footprints are not interrupted by my stitching. They are warm and cozy, perfect for a throw on the couch. They would even make a beautiful wall hanging and the perfect School Auction Item! Order one for your child's Preschool or Pre-K Graduation gift!
Once you place your custom order, we will decide on your theme and colors. I can send you fabric pictures, if you prefer.
PLEASE NOTE: The handprints (or footprints for little ones) must be made with Fabric Paint (can be purchased at local craft stores) and any writing with a Fabric Pen.
2 sizes are currently available – the measurements are approximate: • Kindergarten thru 8th Grade (not pictured), 9 Handprint Squares – Quilt will measure 40” x 40” • Kindergarten thru Senior Year, 13 Handprint Squares – Quilt will measure 40” x 54”
NOTE: all of the measurements are approximate, you may want larger squares (or smaller squares) and I lay them out in the most pleasing pattern - so sometimes the sizes are a little wider or longer!
Easy to tote and easy to wash! I recommend washing in cool water, gentle cycle, and tumble dry low. Or you can hang it out on the line to dry too. Your quilt will arrive having been machine washed and dried to achieve that soft, puffy quilted look.
All of my quilts are handmade with premium quilters cotton, warm and natural batting, and neutral coordinating backing (I can provide a cotton or flannel backing).
Please allow 5 - 6 weeks for quilt to be created and then mailed to your home. Wait could be longer depending upon current wait list of clients and projects – I will always give you an estimate on custom orders.
**Please note, this quilt will be modified to fit your favorite colors. Send me a message and we can work together to make something perfect for you, your family, or a beloved friend.
