My daughter teaches Art in. PreK-5th Elementary school, S. Bronx. Her 2nd grade students dyed fabric squares with variety of natural dyes. My dtr challenged me to make a rug with them. I pieced the blocks, pieced a huge batting and backing—then machine tacked the intersections.
The rug lasted 2 years…the ‘ragged’ rug came back this summer for refurbishment. I zig zagged all the seams, darned many toe holes and put on rubber rug backing!

I saw the free Ribbon Box pattern on a fabric website and decided then and there to make it using two lines of fabric I saw at Montavilla Sewing in Lake Oswego. I made the quilt 6″ wider and also made changes in the construction to eliminate a lot of seams that broke up the continuity of the fabric designs. I like the pattern so much I have made a second version! Quilted by Karlee Sandell.
