Cinco e Mayo quilt pattern

What is Cinco De Mayo?

This is a beautiful quilt made inspired by Cinco De Mayo!

 This is the plan for the design for our version of a paper 

Cinco De Mayo quilt. 

 There is a simple one for the older kids to add their own designs to before they color. 

For the younger kids, i made one a little more detailed with a zig zag for them to color. 

 We used crayons to color our desgins. 

 The design can be mounted to a background piece of construction paper. 

You can use a hole punch to add areas for string to decorate the edges of the artwork.

2. White square sheets of paper (same size as colored squares)

3. A circle form the same size as squares (7 inches)

4. Pencils with erasers

5. Crayons (regular and construction paper)

6. Scissors

7. Glue

9. Tape (if connecting individual squares into one design).

Fold colored square into quarters...

Faith from Mrs. Hall's classroom... before the cutting step (below)

Begin drawing design evenly in each quarter. Repeat the design 4 times in each design slice. 

When design is complete, cut out circle and along quarter fold lines. 

Glue each quarter into the 4 corners of the white paper square. Make shire the 90• angles go into the corners and rounded edges face inward. 

Keep individual squares separate or tape together on back like a quilt.
