Crazy Quilt


Vocabulary Words: Texture, pattern, variety


Materials: 12x12" white paper, Sharpie, crayons, various textures for rubbing


Settlers would move to the plains with very little supplies, so they couldn't afford to waste anything. When their clothes wore out the women would piece the remnants together to create quilts. These quilts became known as Crazy Quilts. We made ours by finding different textures and making rubbings on them with crayons. Patterns were included in some sections for variety.
