I bet they create some wonderful blocks. Children have a unique eye sometimes.

I asked my Sunday school class to decorate some squares for a soldier quilt. They were 5-8 yr olds. I brought in scraps of fabric, fabric paint and fabric markers. They could glue the scraps on the fabric and I'd later aplique it all on. This one little guy made a robot but then strung lots of hearts between the arms of the robot. I said, "You know it may go to a boy soldier not a girl, do you want to put so many hearts on it?" His reply, "It's ok. It's a robot. Boys can have hearts as long as it's from a robot" Well, ok, then continue on. But those blocks were the cutest.
