Such a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do. I hope your daughter does this every year with her classes.

I really think this is a great idea. Everyone gets to take their block home but they still get to show off the whole project.

What a wonderful quilt.

You are one clever quilter. I love the idea of the "quilt" displayed as one quilt but then can be "taken apart" so each child takes their special square home to mom and dad!

It's activities like this that kids remember for a lifetime not the paper and pencil activities they have to do continually it seems with today's curriculum.

What a lovely idea!! How I wish I had known about this when I did the 5th grade quilts. We did redwork. They designed their blocks (one year, they did scenes of colonial life [from their American History unit]; another year they did flowers from their science unit; and yet another year, we discussed different quilt blocks. They chose a block to draw and color using Crayola crayons. Then they made pillows. For the embroidery we were amazed how those kids did nice needlework. Even the big guys were very good. And the stitching for the pillows was well done. This would have been an awesome thing for them to take home.

I just love that the quilt comes apart and each child gets to keep a square. Great idea.
