Hand Made Quilting with 1st Grade


Pattern, Decoration, Textiles

(part one making)

Artist- Miriam Schapiro, Faith Ringgold
Materials- square cotton fabric scraps (will precut small holes in each corner, markers,
Vocabulary- Collaboration- working together to create something as a community

Project- Students will create a design on scrap material with marker. They are instructed to create a pattern, anything repeats. Enough fabric will be provided so students can work quickly or slowly.

(part two combining)

Vocabulary- Arrangement- how artworks are put together and work as a group
Project- Community Quilting: Working together students will arrange their material pieces in a way that is ‘pleasing.’ Are certain pieces similar in color and design? Should bolder projects be used to create a border? Students will attach the fabric scraps together by threading yarn through precut hole and tying ‘double knots.’
