Circle Quilt
This quilt was inspired by an actual quilt pattern of intersecting circles. We were fascinated by the optical illusions this design created and felt we could achieve a similar effect with drawn designs in place of cut pieces of material. Having worked with patterns in depth this year, the two Fourth Grade classes designed different patterns to represent the fabric. We then used warm and cool colors to differentiate between the circles. Using the Quilt-As-You-Go method, each student hand-quilted their own square. These were then machine sewed together.
