For our final Primary student sessions we read the delightful quilt story The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco . The lineage and thrift of quilts is wonderfully demonstrated in this story. I also encouraged the students to relate the story of the Keeping Quilt to the story of our quilt Blue Waves. After our story and discussion each student created a collage quilt by gluing fabric squares, triangles and rectangles to paper. There were some beautiful designs created, and collage is a great way to introduce younger students to working with fabric layouts and design without the worry of scissors, needles and sewing.
