Finito. I thought it'd be cute to have my daughter's class come up with a gift for their teacher. I had them all draw on a square of paper, then I scanned them into the computer and printed the out onto computer fabric. Printed Treasures was the brand I used this time and I LOVE how crisp the ink and colors are. Will definitely buy it again. Once cut, I stitched them together, added a strip in between and on top and bottom. The result was a large rectangle. Well, 2 actually as there are 12 more blocks on the other side. I then trued up the sides and cut 2 lining pieces the same size. I also used a bit of poly fleece inside to give it some weight and heft. I LOVE it. The handles are traditional bamboo handles, but bigger. They have a 9" gap in between the handles. Super cute. I hope she likes it!

I also made it reversible so if she doesn't want the kids artwork hanging out or moves onto someplace else next year, it's still good to use. Now, I need a black one b/c I love it so much!
