Piles are getting smaller!

From the collage below you can see the piles are shrinking as the Quilts are growing larger. Mr. Healy's concentration cannot be broken even with the flash of my camera. They started a group quilt where everyone has to sew a square onto the final project. Ms. Quist is half way done with her quilt. There are many different quilts and colors and they are coming out very unique. Everyone is almost complete in record time. We are excited to see the outcome of it all.

Ms. Quist and Mrs. Collins have decided to make a new Winterim similar to "Survivor." They plan to "vote" people out of Quilting every two days if a person doesn't keep up. If you get voted off, then you would fail your Winterim. Seriously thought everyone in Quilting is on task and moving do quickly to their finished projects.

Mrs. Collins says this year's group is much better than last year's group. (I think she is saying this because she missed me being in the Quilting group last year!)

What will the masterpiece be?

Quilting is off to a fast start everyone has chosen their ideas and have started cutting and sewing! They all got to draw and choose their own design. They are all different from sports to beaches to schools to family photos. They all have different and personal meaning. The group says that they have been doing great but their hands are already hurting... we all say good luck here at RUaDgtalNativ!
Julia says she doesn't think it will ever end. Summer said she is just happy because she finished her first row.... of three squares. Ms.Collins is starting another quilt different from last year she is not doing another math one... she says, you can only do so many of those. Mr. Healy got started today but is doing something more interesting. He is using shirts and other symbols from schools. We only see fabric but in a few short days we hope to see very original masterpieces.
