Read, Paint, Cook Unit Study About Quilts for Kids with The Build Your Masterpiece Class. Quilting Projects included can be enjoyed by a variety of ages, from PreK to Grade 12 plus parents too! Perfect for unschooling, and family-style learning.
After creating two different lessons about Quilts in our Masterpiece Alphabet and Early Years Classics elementary programs for kids, I was asked to create a separate and unique unit study about Quilts for older children and parents to enjoy and I was definitely up to the task! I have really fallen in love with quilts since diving even deeper to create this art study and I hope you and your kids enjoy it.

I hope you are inspired by the art of sewing and quilting while using this unit study, filled with learning resources for the whole family to enjoy. If you are familiar with me, and the way I like to create unit studies, you will know that I am a big fan of unschooling, following the lead of the child, and the importance of teaching art in our homes. Have fun building a masterpiece, and share your creations with us in our Facebook Group or on Instagram @build_your_masterpiece_class.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Derry
