Mi Chickadee

Swim!! Summer swim in our little town is a big deal! This quilt has lots of summer swim season shirts, representing an important part of this grad’s life growing up.

Your ‘grad’ quilt doesn’t have to include only high school achievements. It can be a broad collection to represent their life up to graduation. So, throw in those favorite shirts that they wore every day all of 2nd grade, the pajamas they lived in every weekend until they became 4 inches too short, the shirt from that trip to the Grand Canyon in 4th grade, etc. You might get a roll their eyes when they see it on their quilt, but those things hold the memories of life!
