Story Quilt
Grade 5, ELA & Reading
Description of Unit
This project generates an understanding of the relationship between history, quilting, and storytelling. Students will explore the stories told by quilts, how narratives can be represented through the art form of the quilt, and the relationship between story and history. In designing their own quilt, students will apply geometric principles.
This guide links the Story Quilt unit to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for fifth graders. Story Quilt is an English language arts unit that allows students to gain an understanding of the relationship between history, quilting, and storytelling. Story Quilt also has interdisciplinary connections to the mathematics and social studies disciplines. For example, students generate geometric definitions using critical attributes, as addressed in the Mathematics TEKS, and students study the relationship between the arts and the times during which they were created, as addressed in the Social Studies TEKS. The following document includes the applicable TEKS and the details of the Story Quilt unit. The asterisks indicate the TEKS that are testable on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). The final section of this document presents the applicable Texas College and Career Readiness Standards adopted by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) on January 24, 2008.
Descripción de la unidad
Este proyecto genera una comprensión de la relación entre la historia, las colchas de retazos y la narración de historias. Los estudiantes van a explorar las historias contadas por las colchas de retazos, cómo las narrativas pueden representarse mediante la forma artística de la colcha de retazos y la relación entre historia de los recuentos y la historia formal. Al diseñar su propia colcha de retazos, los estudiantes aplicarán principios de geometría.
Esta guía conecta la unidad Historia en una colcha con los Conocimientos y destrezas esenciales de Texas (TEKS) para los estudiantes de quinto grado. La unidad Historia en una colcha es una unidad de artes del lenguaje en inglés que permite a los estudiantes adquirir una comprensión de la relación entre la historia, las colchas de retazos y la narración de historias. La unidad Historia en una colcha también tiene conexiones interdisciplinarias con las disciplinas de Matemáticas y Estudios Sociales. Por ejemplo, los estudiantes generan definiciones de geometría usando atributos críticos, como se menciona en los TEKS de Matemáticas y los estudiantes estudian la relación entre las artes y las épocas en las que fueron creadas, como lo mencionan los TEKS de Estudios Sociales. El siguiente documento incluye los TEKS correspondientes y los detalles de la unidad Historia en una colcha: Los asteriscos indican los TEKS que se evalúan en las pruebas STAAR. La última sección de este documento presenta los Estándares de preparación para la Universidad, Carreras Técnicas y el Mundo Laboral de Texas correspondientes (Texas College and Career Readiness Standards) adoptados por la Mesa Directiva Coordinadora de la Educación Superior en Texas (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board -THECB) el 24 de enero de 2008.
Phase I. Learning Experiences
- Choose one of these books to introduce the concept of quilting to your students: Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold, Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson, The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco. Explain how the quilter’s work tells a story. Discuss these questions:
- How does the quilter use color, texture, form, line, space, and value to tell the story?
- What role do the principles of emphasis, pattern, rhythm, balance, proportion, and unity serve in the quilt?
- Review the history of quilting. Helpful websites include:

http://www.quiltersbee.com/qbqhisto.htm
https://www.britannica.com/art/quilting
Which groups of people have tended to communicate and record historical information through quilts? Why? What was the motivation behind this activity? Is there bias in the way the history of quilting is told? Are there errors of omission—whose stories are not told in history books?
-
Organize the students into small groups. Each group should take one historical or ethnic group to research. Students should identify three examples of quilts from the time period or ethnic group studied. The groups should consider these questions:
- How were quilts made? What materials were used? Were the materials significant to the people in some way?
- What purposes did the quilts serve?
- What were the stories told through the quilts?
- How has quilting become universally regarded as a legitimate art form?
- How were political symbols used in the quilts?
- How do the quilts reflect the belief system during the time period or of the ethnic group?
- Discuss the mathematics involved in quilting. Cut out triangles and other shapes to form quilting patterns. Students can use these patterns to create tessellations, rotations, and reflections. A helpful website includes:
http://finitegeometry.org/sc/16/quiltgeometry.html
Refer to the attached worksheet for looking at quilts.
- Create a class quilt. Each student designs a quilt square that represents one event or aspect of a story. Students should take notes and make decisions about who will design each square. Squares can represent plot, characters, and/or setting. Use quilt-making software, if available, or use graph paper to lay out the design. The design of the quilt should be historically accurate from the time period of the story. Record the history or process of the quilt and keep it with the quilt. OR Each group selects a story and designs a quilt for the story. Then compare and contrast the various quilts. Stories should come from books they have read or websites they have visited as part of this unit.
Phase II. Independent Research
A. Research process
- Selecting a topic. Each student should identify a story they would like their quilt to tell.
- Asking guiding questions. Once the student has selected a story, he/she should form guiding questions to explore, such as:
- Who is telling the story? Why?
- What resources will help develop the story?
- What material will the quilt be made of? Will the choice of material help to tell the story?
- What other supplies will be needed?
- Developing and submitting a research proposal. The student should include numerous components in the research proposal:
- The story the quilt will tell
- The guiding questions he/she will investigate, as well as hypothetical answers to those questions
- Resources he/she will need to find answers to questions, such as primary and secondary sources, correspondence with experts on the subject, etc.
- Conducting the research. After you have approved student proposals, each student begins using the resources he/she has identified and others he/she may encounter. During this stage, the student will need to keep a log, note cards, or resource process sheets of all the sources and what he/she has learned from each one.
- Developing conclusions. The student should consider the following questions:
- What was successful about the adaptation of the story to the quilt you will make?
- What adjustments or changes did you have to make? Why?
- Who is the target audience for your quilt?
- What will be unique about your story and quilt?

Extend
Story Quilt provides students opportunities to hone skills in English language arts, visual arts, and mathematics. Further extensions include the following interdisciplinary activities.
Science
Create a quilt that depicts the story of a food web. How will you use fabric shapes, colors, and textures to represent each microorganism, insect, plant and animal that comprise the web? How will you use emphasis and repetition in your design?
Social Studies
Study the quilts and quilters of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. When did these women create their works and for what purpose? Where is Gee’s Bend and how did the geographic location influence these artists?
How do their stories compare to the stories of other quilters you’ve studied? What makes their works unique and/or unusual when compared to traditional quilts? Create a virtual exhibit or multimedia presentation using text, images, narration, and music.
Mathematics
Compare the designs of traditional quilts with those of tessellations. What are some similarities and differences? How might you construct a quilt that is also a tessellation? You may wish to conduct internet research to analyze images of quilts that are tessellations. Use graph paper to sketch out your design and estimate how much fabric you might need to make a quilt large enough to cover your bed. Reduce the scale of your design so that you can create a small-scale version of your quilt for exhibition in an art show using either fabric or paper.
Additional Resources
Students are encouraged to work with their teachers and parents/guardians to conduct the research necessary to support and enhance each task, following local district guidelines. Online resources like The Smithsonian Museum, The Library of Congress, The Texas State Archives, Texas State Historical Association, and National Geographic’s Kids offer information on a variety of topics and could serve as a good starting place.
