AJ's class needed a volunteer to help create a project for their silent auction.
A project that each kiddo contributed to in some way.
I love stuff like this, and couldn't resist.
I was on mission to find something that captured the fun, whimsical spirit of being a kid.

In my quest for the perfect project, I found Distant Pickles post about a quilt she made for her mother.
The second I saw it, I knew in my heart it was the one.
I was able to go into AJ's school one day and trace each kiddo's hand on the fabric of their choice and let them write their name on their hand.
It was awesome to see each of his classmates' excitement to be a part of a class project.

It is quite possibly my most favorite project I have ever made.
I hope someone at the auction loves it too.
