Ours is going to be a signature quilt, and the head of the graduation committee wants to do it as a sphere, which I have never done, and I'm not sure how it will work out if she sticks to that choice.

    Very well done, I bet the kids were thrilled to see it up!
    Because the students were very young we first used plain paper so the children could practice tracing. Then they colored in their “take home practice” piece. Step two was to have them use fabric markers and “recreate” their design. I loved their creativity. Each group had only about 40 mins. to make the practice sheet and the real block. We even had time to read a soft covered book about a young girl and her grandmother’s quilt. The experience was awesome!
