Students of all ages can participate in this artistic
expression of friendship. Every quilt square is accompanied by a letter
explaining its meaning. Permanent dye magic markers give children a familiar
tool to communicate their feelings.
| 1) |
We begin by having each child draw
out a design on paper. |
| 2) |
The child is encouraged to keep their drawing free
from references to war, political agendas or religion, so that the
message of peace and friendship is clear. |
| 3) |
Each drawing is surrounded by a colorful
cloth border, and sewn into the completed square. |
4) |
Every quilt square is accompanied
by a letter |
| 5) |
The squares are turned into finished quilts by a
professional quilting service. |
| |
Students raise money to cover this expense through
bake sales and other fund raising activities. |
