Great States Quilt Math

i like that book cuz it covers lots of the curriculum subjects. maths, art, geography, statistics and 'QUILTING'. :)) what could be better than that. great find that one was.

the california block caught my attenti> Bought this book to use with my 4th Graders. Decided to

Thanks for the ideas on how to do the California block. I've been having a heck of a time drawing the Kansas block! I might not do them all this year.

What will I do with them? -- Maybe put them all in one lap quilt. I might not do anything with them until I retire in about 5 years. If I keep the blocks separate for a while, I can hang them with the kids' papers. Then when I retire, I could put them together as a memento of my teaching years.

The blocks are in alpha order in the book, and they are all connected to a math skill. The first several pages have to do with place value -- if the digit in the ones place is odd, color the space green. That kind of stuff. We've been doing some multiplication lately, so I've skipped up to Kentucky and Kansas. Might have the Kentucky block done this afternoon.

I'll put my Kansas block from EQ in Webshots. I'm probably bordering on copyright violation already, so I'm reluctant to put a copy of the actual page from the book up there.

What a great idea, Kay! :)

Thanks, Sandy!

So I made the Alaska block as a QOV block! It sure was easier making it

12"! Of course, I had already had the practice of making one. The Alaska QOV is in my Paper-Piecing Album.

i just worked kansas up as a 10".

I have a screen capture program that I used to show the rulers too! And it doesn't require as much cropping as using the Print Screen key.

I'd love to see the 10" one! I'll take all the help I can get. I did go back and make just the quarter block. I picked 12.25" because then the guides and inch divisions were closer.
