OMG!! WOW!! Beautiful Quilt!! Wonderful job by everyone!! :!: :mrgreen: :shock: :lol: :D :thumbup:

Nice quilt. There's a line of fabric called Messy Hands, but I can't recall by whom. Possibly Kaufman. Very cute fabric that looks like kids writing, drawing, etc. Perhaps you might like to check it out online to see if you think it's suitable/desirable for the backing

What a treasure. The kids will know they helped. Hope one of the parents gets it! A worthwhile project.

So do you let them use regular crayons or what? That is so cute. I bet a lot of mothers out there would love it for their kids to do that. And a classroom makes it all the better. I really like that idea. Awesome. :thumbup:

I finished! The handstitching is stars... 17 for the 17 original heifers, and 10 words... wish, pray, think, trust, enjoy, hope, love, learn, believe and smile.
