Default Placemats/Pictures for students - quilts for teachers..

On February 15, 2014, I posted pictures, of the quilts made for my granddaughters two favorite teachers, at her school. She asked her fellow classmates if they would color owl pictures to put into the quilts. After they were colored, and they were returned to me, I thought it would be nice if each of those students, had a momentum to take home to remember how they had contributed to those[ATTACH=CONFIG]463416[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]463417[/ATTACH] quilts. I have many more placemats/pictures to make for each of the children, about half done at this date - here are the front and backs of those completed at this date.

Thanks for the nice comments on the quilts, but completing this task also gives me an opportunity to practise my quilting skills...LOL
