14. Barn Quilt

16. Crazy Quilt

17. Barn Quilt

18. You will be responsible for only one square of the class quilt. First, we need to come up with a color scheme.

19. 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.

20. 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.)

21. 4. At the end, turn in a color code with your square. For example, square = red pentagon = green rectangle = orange

22. For today, just do a rough sketch of your square quilt design.
