Why are we looking at all these quilt patterns? We are going to make a

class quilt and you will be responsible for one square of the quilt. So, let’s

look at some more!!

You will be responsible for only one square of the class quilt. First, we need

to come up with a color scheme.

Your guidelines:1. Your square will be an 8 ½ inch by 8 ½ inch square.

2. Each shape on your pattern will be made from construction paper.

3. Required shapes:A. Either two isosceles

trapezoids or a polygon with more than four sides.

B. ParallelogramC. Square or RhombusD.RectangleE. Triangles (These are the

“staples” to the quilt.)

4. At the end, turn in a color code with your square. For example, square = red

pentagon = green

rectangle = orange

For today, just do a rough sketch of

your square quilt design.
