The girls made 6 quilts using different art concepts- Contrast, Unity, Movement, Pattern, Balance and
Emphasis.
The students designed and sewed their own blocks. They tied their quilts with embroidery floss and the teacher put the binding on.
They will be displayed at the school before they are donated.

Because quilting has been such a positive thing in my life, I was glad to see a new generation introduced to it.
