What did I get myself into??

You've got about 6 weeks. Could you possibly make 100 or so at home, let the kids chose the rug they like and customize it? If you are just using one piece per side, and birthing them, that shouldn't take too long. NOT IMPOSSIBLE, but will take time.

this post will probably be pulled but it sounds like a few people here are pretty dead set in how a person unknown to them should run their pre-school. If the owner wants to give the moms mug rugs, that's her business. If she wants to ask the teacher to make them, that's her business.
Our poster asked for suggestions on how to get 62 done in the time available. She's not asking for opinions on what the school owner is allowed to do.

Megan, I think what you are doing is a wonderful idea! The kids and mothers alike will love it!! I am sorry many on this board are being so negative and mean spirited about this whole thing. It is a trait that is showing up more often lately and I for one am not finding this a great place to hang out because of it. Giving of yourself and helping these kids learn something new is awesome and I am sure some of these will remember you as the neat teacher who taught them about quilting. I still remember my 4th grade teacher who went to the worlds fair in Seattle Washington, she came back and made the whole thing come alive for us by helping us to build a replica of what she saw there. Out of the box ideas can make touching memories!!

FINALLY!!!!! A voice of reason!! Why all the negative and critical talk??? She just asked for ideas!!??!! Keeping it simple and letting the kids decorate them is a wonderful idea!! Have a talk with the principal and let her know they won't be done as nicely as yours but the moms will love them with their children's artistic talents shining forth. Bless you for taking it on! Kids love to get involved and be a part of something like this, even if they don't think so at first! Many a bad attitude has changed through knowing that someone cares about their input.
Of course, I make, entirely for free, a small quilt every time a teacher at the elementary school has a baby, even if they aren't my sons teachers. It's a way for me to give back to the great teachers who sacrifice so much to help the kids learn.

Good deal if you are getting paid for your supplies as well as time ... though would the parents appreciate something made for the kids .... and paid for out of their enrolment fees?
I would tend to think that parents would sooner have something poorly done by the kids, yet made with their ♥! Or am I off track here?
