Design week was an inspiring one where four out of the sixteen classes working on the Art Quilt worked out the final layouts of the 4 x 4 inch squares in each season.
I was impressed by the thoughtfulness and lively discussions that accompanied these sessions.
The students had lots of opinions and had to make their case on several occasions for why they thought a specific design choice should or should not be made.
These classes also brainstormed the titles of the panels. We used process of elimination through voting to get our final result.

Blocks were taped to the wall in the 9 squares per row, 10 row pattern
Students then re-arranged the squares to make a pleasing design
This was challenging as many of the squares have similar designs. Should they be grouped together in a pattern or distributed randomly? What is most pleasing to the eye?
These classes also brainstormed the titles of the panels. We used process of elimination through voting to get our final result.
Once the design was finalised each block was numbered from 1 through 90 on the back side with tape. That way when the students began sewing them together they would not get mixed up.
Awesome work! Thank you for sharing!
