State Research Project Alaska: Our Scrappy Patchwork Quilt
By The Emergency Sub
Alaska Research Project
Scrappy Patchwork Quilts
A scrappy quilt uses a variety of different fabrics that may or may not use a consistent theme. In this new version of cut and paste, students will make a scrappy quilt using a variety of pattern blocks included in the activity. The students must complete a set of questions or activities to know what numbered pattern to use and where it should be placed on their quilt. Each quilt has its own color scheme (color chart) and those are the colors students will need to create a one-of-a-kind scrappy quilt. Each quilt comes with a header, and some have additional activities students must complete to finish their quilts. Each quilt once assembled with header is 11x14 inches (does not include the size if a quilt has an additional activity).
Alaska State Scrappy Patchwork Quilt: Research Project
The Alaska State Scrappy Patchwork Quilt Research Project - a unique way to explore all that Alaska has to offer! This project is designed to engage students in a fun and interactive learning experience, allowing them to dive deep into the history, geography, and culture of the Last Frontier.
