        The itsy-bitsy spider
        Climbed up the water spout
        Down came the rain
        And washed the spider out
        Out came the sun
        And dried up all the rain
        And the itsy-bitsy spider
        Climbed up the spout again

Reflection Paper

     I enjoyed making my quilt.  Although I kind of procrastinated on doing it, it was fun.  I always like to make things so this helped me to learn to make one.  I used a lot of math when it came to putting all the shapes on there.  I enjoyed trying to figure out the math I needed to use to estimate and measure how big my shapes should be and cut them out. I also enjoyed doing it with my mom.  She helped me a lot with it, she did all of the quilting, but I observed closely while she was sewing it.  I think now all I need is some practice with a sewing machine and I could make one all on my own.

     When we were first told that we were making a quilt, I picked “Itsy, Bitsy Spider” because it is one of my daughter’s favorite songs and I didn’t realize that we had to give it away at first.  Although I very much wanted to give it to her, I am happy to give it away and I hope that it will make whoever gets it very happy.  Now that I know the basics of making a quilt, I am going to make my daughter one similar to it all on my own.
