This is the quilt I made for my niece, a Kindergarten teacher in north Toronto. She has an activity-based classroom and lots of room for exploration. Here is the quilt for her classroom I sent her during the winter:
The children were immediately taken by the irregular design of the front panel – they counted the coloured strips, they measured some of them, they talked about the colour gradation, they drew pictures of it. The back afforded more exploration – could they find pairs of colours, how many pairs were there?
The interest came from the children and my niece allowed them to explore widely, prompting them with questions as the children engaged with the quilt.
I just made a colourful quilt I thought she and the children would like to have. The children turned it into something else: The Math Quilt!
