Default Crazy Chinese Fire Alarm quilt going to be made at Boys and Girls Club

My friend and I have been teaching a sewing class at the Boys and Girls club each week. We wanted them to learn how to use a machine, safety, and sewing straight lines. We have anywhere from 4-11 children each week which keeps us really busy with 2 machines. Sandy and I decided on a new quilt using up our scraps. We are going to have a 14 or 15 inch foundation block with a middle piece to start. Then each kid picks a scrap, and then they sew it on the foundation piece building this block. When they have finished with one scrap they go get another, and so on. This should be fun since nobody just sits around and waits for the machine, and they get to pick and choose what they want. What do you guys think?
