A friend of mine, an Art Therapist, worked with children of homeless families. She asked me to make a quilt from blocks of duck fabric that the children had painted with acrylic paints. They were to depict "Hope is Everywhere" with their drawings. I worked it into a quilt and we embellished it with beads and glorious yarns. It turned out so well, she used it as the feature of an exhibit with works of art by these children. It was so well worked out size wise that I was able to make prairie points around the edge using the rest of the duck fabric. It worked out very well and is now housed in the YWCA Homeless Families Shelter and Administrative Offices. Hope this helps.
