Kids Creating Quilts

As part of our Project Linus quilt making, we will partner with the kids who come to the library for story time. The kids will make their own paper quilts during the Wednesday, Oct. 2 story time; a craft they could take home. On Thursday, Oct. 3, kids will design quilts using fabric squares we have cut ahead of time. The Quilting Bee’s will sew the squares together on Sunday, Oct. 6 at Riverside.  The finished quilt tops will be displayed for the kids to see during the next story time, Wednesday, Oct. 9^th.  

 

Prior to October, we need to gather, cut and sew 6 1/2" squares for the kids to create the quilts. A quilt will be 6-7 squares across and 7-9 squares down. These squares can be pieced, as in 4 patch or 9 patch blocks, which will use some of our smaller pieces.
