    I made a quilt for my Mother's 90th Christmas. I appliqued each hand print on a different solid color block for each family. Their children, grandchildren and great grands were cut out of medium and small florals, with the grandchildren of each family all the same and the greats of a different print. In the center I put a picture of my parents right after they were married. I titled it, "because 2 people fell in love". I also included a pink angel and a blue one, for the babies in heaven waiting for Grandma to rock them. I have never had any luck trying to post a pic, but willl try again.

    I had no luck downloading a pic. I also put each person's first name and birth year on the solid part of the block.

    I made a quilt with handprints putting great grandmother in the middle and arranged her children next and then grandchildren, etc in two or three big circles. It really turned out nice.

    Did you take a peek at the quilts with hand-prints on Google Images??

    How about using the hand prints as "leaves" on a tree? You could embroider the names on each handprint. OR how about a heart using the hand prints. Good luck. Hope you will post a picture when completed.
    Keep smiling, it makes others wonder what you're up to!

    Have a look at some of these. I like the one where the hands make a heart shape.

    I saw one (not sure where) that had a tree trunk and used the handprints as leaves on the tree. The tree was pieced and the 'leaves' were appliqued.
