I made this as an eighth-grade graduation present for Sunny’s teacher, who has been her main teacher ever since first grade. The pattern comes from Judy Sisneros’ book, 9-Patch Pizzazz. I’m not exactly what you would call a precision quilter (more of an imprecision quilter, actually), but I was able to do a reasonable job combining nine-patch blocks with rectangles and squares of three Japanese focus fabrics. Here’s a detail:

Really beautiful, Christine. How fortunate for Sunny that she was able to have the same teacher all of the way through. Mary
