Helpful Hint for the Culture Quilt

Parents & Students,
Please keep it simple when you are creating your Culture Quilt. I would love to see it on a standard poster board. If you have already started a larger quilt, please continue and I can't wait to see it. Be creative! I can't wait to see the finished products.
