Dear Peggy, I machine satin stitched around the hands. First I traced the hands onto light weight fusable interfacing, ironed them onto the fabric, cut out and before sewing I put a sheet of paper towel on the bottom of the backing square to act as a stabilizer. When I finished sewing I removed the paper. Hope this helps you!

Oh! the teacher kept the quilt as a memory of her class.
