| Ziploc Baggie Quilt |
| Each family used wallpaper tangram cutouts to create a block for our quilt. Here are the directions for makinga Ziploc Baggie quilt: Materials: 1 box of gallon ziplock freezer bags, colored duct tape, colored card stock paper. Procedures: Use duck tape to attach each bag together, from the back side. After the back has been secured, duct tape the rows together. ( like a sandwhich) Leave one side of the top of the baggie unzipped so that you can insert your cardstock and quilt pattern. Insert one sheet of cardstock paper into each bag to provide support. The nice part of this quilt is that it can be changed quickly and new designs and colors may be added. |
