there was a post on here with a quilt that was made with name flakes (snowflakes cut out in a name) if you did the block with the persons name on it that would be even more special for the families
I don't see a reason why we couldn't do this.
I really love this idea!! BTW I'm the one with the nameflakes' quilt. ;) I would be one of the first in line to sign on to this project!!!!! 8-) :thumbup: :thumbup:
I just realized something!!! Next year I will be teaching U.S. History to our 11th & 12th grade students!! This would be a great project for them to get involved!! They could each make a nameflake (or 2 or 3 or........) block!!! :thumbup:
