Group of kids made a quilt
On PBS last week there was a demo where a lady had worked with a classroom of children (children were not shown but the final quilt was). She made a block by folding a square (I think) several times, had the children write or print their name on one section and it came out similar to a snowflake. That's my best description of what I remember. They then used it as a fundraiser for the school. I have my g'kids right now and we are not being very successful. And I thought it was easy. I'm thinking it was on Quilting Arts, but can not find it any where. Did anyone catch it and can you direct me to the show or a demo?

For a pattern to be repeated in a snowflake, it must be along the fold edge. I can't imagine cutting out a fabric snowflake as it will be quite thick. I haven't seen the program so no help from me.

Not so sure it was 'CUT OUT' - their names were forming a tile like look when opened.

Sounds like it may be similar to a painting technique I used to demonstrate when I sold trichem paints. The paper is folded once and the name is written in cursive with the bottom of the letters touching the fold. Then turn the folded paper over and retrace the letters on the other side (in reverse) using a light box or holding it to a window. When you open the paper, the name looks like a filigree design.
