Oh Honchey, I love the colors you chose, and your piecing sure looks good to me!
Here are mine. You'll notice I simplified the outside arrows on Alice -- this is supposed to be enjoyable not my life's work. Besides, Alice is related to the letter about the mother playing with her children, and for some reason the way I did the arrows reminds me of the board games I played in the 60s. Maybe the Sorry game? I also changed the color of the center square to add a bit of punch, though it made it less of a true checkerboard design.

Can't wait to see what everyone else did with these!
