Storybook Quilts is a program available to anyone who works with children/students. Our guild lends the collection to schools, libraries, museums, scout programs and any other interested groups on a loaner basis. The collection includes books, quilts, lesson plans, ideas for activities to use with the books, hands on projects, and recommended web sites. The books are ready to be read and the quilts are ready to be admired, looked at, loved, and touched!
From PBS, teachers from around the country report their work of using quilts in the classroom.
This activity is designed to help students develop spatial sense by decomposing shapes into smaller units.
