    We decided to make a quick little classroom quilt. I had my special-needs students practice drawing on paper first. Well, only one student could draw a heart, so we tried flowers. Only a couple could draw a flower. We tried a face. Everyone could draw that, so I gave them all a square of fabric backed with freezer paper and they drew a picture and wrote their name. Today I took in my featherweight and did a little piecing demonstration. They really enjoyed seeing their square get sewn into the top. We still have a couple of days of school after Memorial Day, so I'll hang it up for our little classroom "promotion" ceremony. FUN day!!

    It looks like it is going to be a wonderful, unique quilt! Children can always make "art" and it is always wonderful to see.

    Oh how fun. Love the bright fabric you put with it. The students must have just been delighted with what they did
