End of Year Projects

This year I decided to create wall-hangings for each of the kids' classrooms. L, goes to preschool and R, just finished 1st grade. Last year, I created two quilts for his teacher, a large crib sized quilt for her new baby (born on the final day of school), and a wall-hanging for her classroom. Both of those quilts had the students' handprints in a simple 6" square pattern. Here, you can see them:
Baby Quilt Teacher's Wall-hanging.

Anyway, this year, I tried my hand at applique. I made two of these wall-hangings, one for each classroom. Sure, I'll have to outdo myself if any of my children repeat older siblings' teachers-which in a school that only has 2 or 3 teachers per grade is fairly likely, but, I liked doing it...plus, who knows what craft I'll be obsessed with in a few years....
The pattern for this is "All the Children of This World" by Barbara Skjonberg. It's listed in the free patterns section.
