Far beyond coloring blocks for a classroom quilt, try out activities surrounding quilts of yesterday and today that substantially teach art concepts and connect the aesthetics and heritage of this art form in the fields of literacy (with questions for over 35 children/teen books), math, social studies (including primary source investigations, multiculturalism, and quilts as political statements), and careers. The activities incorporate both creative thinking and creative production with reasoning. Learn how anyone could include quilts in a variety of units. Numerous resources and plans are included that are aligned with the Common Core and NAGC Standards.
