Thanks for the replies. I didn't set a deadline (yet) since I wanted to see what kind of response I would get.
For those of you who do iron-on applique, that's how the red hand is made. If you don't embroider, I can do that.
I'm going to suggest to Ginger that I want her and Kennedy to send me drawings of what they want their blocks to look like and I'll translate those into fabric.
For those of you who don't applique, and still want to help, I can offer a trip back to Kindergarten. I can do a square for you if you let me know what color and what kind of HOPE you want. Send me a drawing, and I'll make it. That would be fun, and I do have quite the selection of fabric.
This project is in the beginning stages and I consider it a work in progress. No matter what - it will be pretty.
