As soon as I can I will post a tutorial. I've asked my student who won the quilt to bring it in tomorrow so I can take some close-up pics of the flakes. Once I put a paper border around the name/design, you will be able to see the name/design.

I will be putting together directions for making the flakes, too. Things are a bit hectic right now. They have two more full days of school and then start their final exams on Tuesday. The last day of school is June 11. Grades aren't due until June 16, but I will be attending a conference in Durham, NC so will head for my mom's house in the southwest corner of Virginia for a few days before heading to NC. Lots of driving ahead of me! :shock:

We're glad you like our little quilt! :wink:

The students followed their teacher's instructions and the result is stunning. Great job, teacher!

It is so nice to see a teacher get so involved with her students. The quilt is beautiful and the meaning of it (class project) even more.

That is such a neat idea. I did one of the hand prints of my daughter's first grade class. Each class was to come up with a project that could be in a silent auction to raise money for their school. It is a Christian School. I had just a few days to put it together and get it in the mail. I live in Ohio and I had to send it to Texas. One of the mothers whose daughter was in the class made a bid of $500.00 . I am sure her mom wanted to donate that amount to the school. Her daughter will have the hand prints of all her classmates to share with others when she is older. Your quilt is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Don't you just love awesome teachers. They are very blessed to have you as a teacher. Truely great teachers are hard to come by. I was blessed with three truely gifted teachers and I still think about them.
Your project turned out beautifully and I'm sure that if you continue the tradition you will be blessing alot of children.
