Teaching Kids to Quilt
Ensure a Do-able Project
- Choose a one- or two-patch design, with patches large enough to be handled easily by small hands (no smaller than 4" square).
- Plan for each child to make one block. Calculate the number of quilt tops that can be made based on the number of students in the class.
- Pre-cut the patches plus a few extras (just in case).
- Use 1/2" seam allowances. This allows more leeway when sewing the blocks together.
