School blocks

Hi!  Part two of my humongous post....

I placed the blocks in alphabetical order....

Painted and beadwork.

Appliqued and machine letters

Lots of people transfered images (mostly the flag) to the fabric we provided.  This is the first of many.

My daughter made this one!  I love how she painted the water and sewed on the beads as pearls.

This was painted.

My sweet son painted this one!

I made this one.  I love the coffeebean fabric I chose to spell out the name of the country!

Sewn on. I had to sew on the fabric flowers as they started coming off!

Cross-stitched

I think this was pre-made but then sewn on.

Silk and machine appliqued

I couldn't cut out Uki.  She is so darned cute and my biggest fan.  Or maybe I'm HER biggest fan!!  This beautiful block is hand painted with incredible use of embellishments!

This is definitely almost crazy patched!

A beaded necklace sewn on.  This did not come back the size I needed so I had to add the black circular border.  I think it works!

Appliqued. My daughter penned in the name of the country and the little flower.

Ready made trim sewn on.  Painted name and a little pin Llama.

I made this and just used Sharpies.  This was the very last block that was included.  My daughter did the flowers, which is their national flower, and she did not like my colorful letters so went over it in black and then wrote my name.  Hmmmm....

I have to say, now that this project is over and permanently hanging at school: that I have learned a lot.  I've learned about myself; how to work with others; how to fix problem blocks in a diplomatic way and how to stay on a deadline.

I would like to thank all that were involved in this project!

A special shout out goes to Mala and her team in Dubai at Classic Quilts and Quilting for helping make this the beautiful quilt that it is!

Stay tuned for Part 3!
