Ask students to show some of the papers they brought in and to tell of their significance. Distribute precut squares, scissors, glue, and oil pastels. Cut scrap papers into desired patterns. These may be representational or straightforward designs. Glue into place.
Students work their signature or initials onto the patch.
Distribute butcher wrap, oil pastels, and glue. Glue patches into spaces provided by premeasured grid of brown paper. If any squares come up short, students may fill in with extra scrap paper. Each quilt will have a motif that will be drawn into the borders to unify all diverse patchwork. The group of students working on their quilt will agree on one common motif, for example, hearts, stripes, snowflakes, stars, daisies, etc.
