The final product of the WebQuest is a quilt made out of cardboard, cloth, felt, ribbons, buttons, and any other materials.  Students should be coming up with some great ideas for their quilts once they begin their research.  Ask them to be on the lookout for any materials they could bring in from home, appropriate for the quilt design they will be constructing.  Designate a large box in the classroom for anything students bring in.   It would be helpful for you to contribute as well.

The individual group patches should be created on a cardboard square that is about three feet by three feet.  The color of the cardboard will not affect the quilt as it will be covered with material anyway.

These materials do not have to be brand new or expensive.  Keep your eyes peeled, there are useful materials everywhere; an old curtain, a old sheets, old rugs, and basically anything that is not being used.
