I just finished this fun quilt, all ready for use later next month. I used applique, embroidery and textile paint for this retro chalkboard creation.
In 1958 I was in first grade. Not doing cursive yet at that time, but all these fabric elements were too good to pass up. I have fond memories of elementary school and enjoy "Back to School" season.

I love your quilt! It does look like a chalk board from the 1950's! A lot of hand work went into this quilt. In years past, I've pieced together more traditional quilt block quilts than I can remember. Then I started purchasing feed sacks from the 1930s-1950s and replicating old quilts. Now I enjoy and appreciate applique and embroidery in a quilt.
Our classroom had that green example of cursive writing up on the wall. You're right - this is a fun quilt!
There is really a lot of work in this quilt. A true labor of love. It turned out wonderful.
