I realized that some of the children don't want to part with their artwork, so for them especially I set up an electronic slideshow of all of the squares so everyone can visit! Clicking below will lead you to slide shows of your squares, all labeled, clickable and enlargeable. Give it a try!
BTG Panel 1
Panel #1
Click HERE to view a 10 square slide show and then click around to view the entire collection of 49 squares in our very first panel. Thanks to the 5th grade Cooney-Rumson team of 2006-2007 at the Marblehead Village School and Mrs. Schwartz' 4th grade class at Shirat Hayam Swampscott. You all showed us how it's done!
BTG Panel 2
Panel #2
Click HERE and then on "view slide show" to see the entire Panel #2 slide show with high compliments to Mrs. Edwards' textile class at Marblehead High School and Blanket the Globe Ambassador, Heather Saxe. The students in this class worked on these squares for a grade. I hope they all got A's. Incredible work!
Panel #3
If you'd like a larger version of the mini-slide show of panel #3 I've posted below, click HERE. Thanks to Girl Scout Troop #1058 and children from around the world who attended the Festival of the Arts on 07-01-07.
Panel #4
This panel spans the country from New York to California, Forida to Maine, all gathered at the Marblehead Arts Festival and the YMCA Small Fry Camp. Full slide show and captions HERE

And with 250 squares completely assembled and about 150 more in inventory...drum roll...Panel #5 is officially done!! Click on the slideshow below to view the whole panel which mostly comes from the Marblehead Arts Festival, Earth Camp in Bowling Green, Ohio, and my friend Joanna. You can view the slideshow below or click HERE.
Panel #6
Thanks to the kids at the Marblehead Farmers' Market 8 year old Mollie and her friends from Alexandria, VA, Panel 6 is complete! If you dropped by to see your square, check out the slideshow below or click HERE to visit them online. Keep those squares coming!
Panel #7 is saved for Lynn Brownie Troop #5890 (stay tuned...)
Panel #8 Silver Ridge Elementary School of Davie, FL
You will absolutely love this slideshow (click link)but of course, the true beauty of seeing these squares in person cannot possibly come through online. They're so great and the sewing is so appreciated. I think I've learned how it should be done!
Panel #9 Brookwood School in Manchester, MA
I had the best time visiting with the 2nd grade at the Brookwood School today. Thank you for making me feel so welcome, sort of like a Rock Star, actually. Please click HERE for a slideshow of your grogeous artwork.
