Signature quilt beginnings

I am going to begin making a signature quilt this week. I made an example block with really bad instructions on it. I may redo it to be more clear.

I have worked at the same school since it opened almost 7 years ago. Now it looks as though I will have to go to a new school next year to teach, due to my lack of seniority and a new school opening.

For this quilt I plan to gather signatures from each of my ESL students and some coworkers.

Tomorrow I am going to my sister's house to cut pieces for the quilt. I am being ambitious though, as I am also taking a quilted jacket project. Regardless, I should have something to show for it by Sunday.
