Loved how easy it was to have the three challenges so you can challenge your high-performing students while making the resource accessible to your on-level and below-level students.

Hello, I am very excited about this project! I am wondering about the final product of this quilt project. Can you please explain to me how they actually put their quilt together, I assume out of colored paper? Which page does it explain how students complete this final task? And what size does it end up being? I noticed on page 6 of the project in involves fabric that is 30 inches long. Where do they create shapes/patterns that result in the final quilt project?
Thank you for the clarification. You are welcome to email me in response, I could not find your email to ask directly.
