Well done! Now that is a grand fund raiser. The kids made some lovely designs and you did a wonderful job creating a masterpiece.

Congrats! That's wonderful that it raised $$ for their school. It's one thing to have your kids artwork in a quilt but to have a well-done quilt to boot is what I think got the $$ for them. Good job!

I just love these school quilts. When my youngest was in 6th grade, his teacher, Mr. Porter asked me to help the kids while they paper pieced 4 squares each of pine trees. They choose which fabric the wanted to use as well as which tree patterns (we had a selection to choose from). I learned how to paper piece or foundation quilt, but most importantly I learned that each child, even the ones that drove you crazy, was a wonderful creative person and fun to work with. That was the gift for me. I sewed the 4 blocks into one square and scanned them. Not only did each child then have a realistic picture of their quilted work, but I made a key to the quilt that showed which child had made the squares. It was a wonderful experience. I really like the crayon quilts, too.

After reading my post, I realized that I didn't make it clear that the children sewed every stitch of their blocks.
