Here's the finished First Amendment Quilt.

| The First Amendment Quilt, pattern self designed |
The First Amendment is printed in the center panel.
The panel was printed using the largest size printable fabric sheet I could find. This quilt was for Drama Teen's journalism teacher, so that seemed to be the most appropriate theme. The background fabric is a fake newsprint, which also seemed appropriate. Trudy Lindemann did a wonderful job on the quilting as always.
A chain of stars in the borders.
And loops in the star center.
The quilt was gifted yesterday during the end of the year journalism party. According to DT, Miss T loved the quilt. I got a very nice hug when I got home. Doesn't get much better than that in terms of being thanked.
The First Amendment quilt is my forth finish this year. Considering that I only finished 4 quilts in all of 2016 (the same for all of 2015) and it's not even June yet, this is looking to be one of my better years for finishes. I'd like to have a shorter WIP/UFO list for 2018. The First Amendment quilt was on my Second Quarter 2017 Finish Along list. It was number two on my list, so I'm halfway to my goal for the quarter. That's a good feeling too!

This turned out lovely!
I love this quilt. What a perfect gift for Miss T. Wonderful design.
A wonderful finish and so thoughtful in so many ways -
Your quilt has inspired me - I have a 4th of July one in WIP and I think that star border would work perfectly.
I also like reading about your 4 finishes. My mind spins when I see some quilters finish projects at such a frenetic pace.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I can't congratulate you enough on getting all those quilts finished. You set goals which is definitely a good lesson for me. This First Amendment quilt is stunning!There's nothing better than a hug for a thank you. Do you think your daughter will become a quilter too?
Congrats on getting all your graduation quilts done on time! And on your daughter's graduation, also no small feat. Way to go, mom!
DT did have a good idea there with the second label and you are such a good mom to get it done in time--way to go Mom--

I've been following your graduation quilts journey and WOW! Did this one ever turn out fabulous! Such meaningful fabric and so appropriate a gift.
This turned out fabulously! I really like it, and I'm impressed that you got all the graduation quilts done.

I've enjoyed the progress on this quilt. As a long-time-ago journalism major it always "spoke" to me. So glad teacher liked it too. Yea for making great strides this year. Maybe you'll double your finished quilts to 8 this year! (Ok, pick something small and get it done.)
It has been so much fun following along on all of your graduation quilt projects, and I am so impressed with all the completions. The First Amendment quilt turned out beautifully! I'm sure the journalism teacher will display it proudly in her classroom.
Congratulations, Kate! I've been waiting with bated breath to see if you would finish all 4 of the beautiful graduation quilts! Yea! Now, take a deep breath and relax.
Kate, I apologize for being so far behind in my reading.....WOWOWOWOWOW! You have been a busy quilter! These quilts are just so thoughtful and a beautiful homage to DT's education. You have just done a wonderful job in my opinion!
COngrats to both you and DT - what an awesome accomplishment!!
Hurrah for this gorgeous quilt, and for your four finishes! Enjoy your next (hopefully deadline-less) project!
The quilt looks fantastic- glad to hear it was appreciated too! And good luck finishing 4 more 😉!
Nice work, Super Mom!!!
I love the finish! Great design and quilting.
What a great end of the year gift for a teacher. Your choice of fabrics was perfect.
