We plan to give these to the Red Cross, homeless shelters, and UW Children's Hospital. In art class, we will print designs on the fabric. After-school art club students will also sew designs on the quilts. They will be sewn together with batting inside.
Children making quilts for children is a win-win project.
The students will learn printing and sewing skills as a group project, and the children in need will receive the comfort of something made especially for them. During the first semester our art classes made small quilts for the dogs and cats at the Humane Society, and the project was very well received and fun to do.
