There are so many wonderful children's books that feature quilts.  We hope that you will like some of the selections that we have focused on this year.  As you will see, the choices are more historical in nature and some will also be choices again when we focus on multicultural aspects.

The list of books that we have selected are:

If you are interested in interpreting one of these books in a quilt, please let us know which you have selected.  Please keep quilts small (36" X 36" or smaller.)  We would love to have some log cabin quilts, one with red centers, one with black centers.  Samplers using blocks suggested in the books are also good choices.  Scrap quilts, a Bear Paw quilt or Schoolhouse block quilt are also some that we are  hoping to get.  Amish quilts, star quilts and examples of Hawaiian quilts are also some of the items that we hope to include.  We will accept multiples of some of these basic quilts as we hope to have multiple quilt education kits that could be checked out.   

Please feel free to contact Jan Fry or Dee Acklie if you have questions or would like to volunteer to interpret a particular book.  Have a favorite book not on this list, let us know.  It will probably be included in later years or if it's historical in nature, we can add it to this year's list.
