Our Butterfly Quilt

In our ongoing attempt to learn and explore with patterns and shapes, we created another beautiful quilt! Each child made two quilt squares, a butterfly square and a patchwork square, and placed his or her squares on our quilt. This is the finished product, which is proudly hanging in the hallway outside our classroom. Stop by and take a look if you can!

Here are some of our observations about this quilt:

Danica: "It goes patchwork, butterfly."

Sophie: "It’s a pattern. Butterflies and patchwork."

 

Alex: "It’s going patchwork, butterfly, patchwork, butterfly."

 

Anna: "It’s going diagonal and it keeps on going smaller and smaller."

Blake: "It’s diagonal and then I see a straight line."
