But I really, really like your design! I don't think we've seen it before, so . . . Good Job!

Just came across an article in an old magazine - BH&G, American Patchwork and Quilting, June, 2002. The article is titled, "Kids' Camp". Looks to be a great article with ideas on teaching young children. It has ideas of a sequence of tasks to get them used to the machine, as well as three quilt patterns to use with them ( based on their skill level). PM me if you can't find the magazine/article. I really think this would help you in your planning.

The kids will love the attention they get and the hands-on project they get to do. Keep it simple!
Have fun and take lots of pictures!!!

This morning's news shared a story of a 4th grade teacher who taught history by having the students color a picture on fabric representing something about our state (Oklahoma). Then she had them sew the pieces together and quilt it by tacking with yarn. The quilts hang in the school until they are seniors; then there is a drawing for a winner. They have been doing this for 21 years. Here is a link

Too hard for 7 year olds - they need something simple and quick. Get them to make a pillow case or something they can finish quickly so they can see they have achieved something.
