Burlap and Felt Quilt Squares – 1st grade

How can a quilt be a work of art?  
“Why do people make art?  
The 1st graders looked at and discussed quilts.  We talked about shapes, layering and symmetry.   We made a fabric quilt square using felt, fabric, burlap, ribbon and buttons.  These squares were supposed to demonstrate the student’s understanding of symmetry.

  1. Hi! I love your blog. I have just started a blog myself. Wanted to know if the children sewed these squares or used glue and if so what type? Thanks! I go room to room so always looking for interesting projects I can manage to set up and clean up in 40 minutes with minimal mess!
