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!!

Barn Quilt

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. Parallelogram C. Square or Rhombus D. Rectangle E. 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.
