Quilts in the Classroom
Helpful Design Solutions

• Be flexible and not locked into a particular vision of a finished quilt.



• If the center of the quilt is too large to accommodate the blocks the children made for the border, add sashes between them.



• If the center of the quilt is too small, add a border around it.



• If you have one or two extra blocks that won't fit, add them to a plain border.



• If you don't have enough blocks, include a teacher's block, or a class information block.
