Scrapbook Quilt (Peer Lesson)

     This project allowed us to use our creativity to create our own paper quilt that represented our interests or things that we like.  We used scrapbook paper as the pieces to our quilt and added patterns within our design of the quilt.  This lesson can be simplified to be used in younger grades, or expanded and made more detailed to be used with older students. 

     Instructions:
1.  We selected eight sheets of scrapbook paper that we liked or thought related to our interests or lives.  We also picked up squares and circles that were cut out to be used to trace on our sheets. 
2.  We selected four of the scrapbook sheets and traced squares onto these sheets, then cut them out.
3.  The next step was to trace four circles onto the remaining for scrapbook sheets and then cut these out. 
4.  We were then to cut each circle and each small square into quarters. 
5.  We arranged, then possibly rearranged the smaller quarters to create designs to resemble that of a patchwork quilt.  We placed the created circles inside of our created squares and determined the way that we wanted to have these placed on our background sheets. 
6.  We then glued down the pieces to the quilt and decorated the border of the paper quilt we had created.
