Default drawings for crayon quilts

I am currently working with a new group of friends who live in a
nursing home. I wanted to involve them in creating some wall hangings
for their lobby area but many of them are not able to sew any more.
The activity director said they like to color so I thought I would
print outlines on fabric and let them color the scenes which I would
sew into a wallhanging.

Does anyone know of a good sourse for such pictures? I know I have
seen them in the past but can't find them now. I wanted something more
adult than the ordinary coloring book pictures.

Thanks, Susan

How about books of clip art? You could enlarge them to an appropriate size and
let your friends color those.
Even if they are not too steady and color outside the lines (gasp) you can
always trim the picture.

Hmmmm. I might try that myself. I do love to color.

I saw a baby quilt at a quilt show last weekend that was colored......and it
actually looked quite nice.
