Quilts, aside from having practical uses, can be beautiful expressions of art. People have used quiltmaking as a way of telling stories about their lives while integrating creative methods and patterning into their quilts. Below are a few examples of quilts made by our students using KidPix. Each student wrote a brief paragraph about themselves and designed a quilt that tells a little about themselves.
We hope you enjoy our page, and feel free to drop us a line.
