Patchwork quilt

10th graders are studying colonialism in U.S. History, so in art class I proposed creating a patchwork quilt between all of them. They had to apply the principles of design to create a textile inspired by nature (although it could be an abstract motif). After everyone designed theirs we joined them together to create this beautiful paper "quilt".

I am so impressed with their individual designs that I am suggesting they create a patter with them and have them printed using this webpage. If they do (and i´m really hoping they will) I will ask for a square of fabric from each so we can create a real quilt :-)
