Kelly had two ideas from her son. One was the shield
and one was a smiley face but with the cat fabric I had it came out as a cat!
 
 
Megan
 
Last but not least MaryAnn with the winning design! Her design was written up and will be made into kits for the Lincoln Quilts for Kids group.
Some of the designs were made up into actual quilts by Kris Jarchow in her own fabric and interpretation as test quilts.  All of the designs submitted were looked over for ease of cutting and use of fabric.  The final determination was not only about ease but also about modern design. Mary Ann's design has so many possibilities. Thanks for all who participated!!!
 
Kim showed off some of the BOM blocks. All blocks and tutorials are on our pinterest page  HERE
