A quilted river

Here's one of my schoolroom quilters (my 11-year-old son) with the nearly finished river quilt. Each student hand pieced strings representing a river and shoreline onto a square of warm and natural, and then the young artists figured how to make the river flow from square to square. I sewed it together and put on a backing. Later the students will tie it in each square. I'm proud of how well these quilters did, and they're proud of themselves too.
