Kid Quilt Ahoy

My daughter is almost done with her sampler quilt. I think it's her best quilt so far. She's pieced all the squares now and picked an aubergine fabric for the sashing.
There's a little over a week to finish this thing in time for the quilt show, so it's going to be a bit of a race, but the hardest part is done.
I discovered that the best way for her to sew the trickiest bits was to use some washable magic marker to dot all the points on the triangles. She's also gotten so much better at using the foot to keep her seams at 1/4 inch.
These squares were cut from an Accuquilt, and that probably saved us hours of heartache and meltdown time. I might have tried to get her to make a sampler without it, but it would have been much smaller and taken much longer.
