As part of the "Celebrate the Subjects" program in the High School Department, during the 2001-2002 school year, March was the month to "celebrate" art in all of the classes. With the Chemistry students already seeing what the Earth Science students were doing, they began complaining that they "never got to do anything fun like that!" Students were given the assignment of making quilt squares that represented concepts and vocabulary they had learned in chemistry class. They were given 7" squares of white muslin, permanent fabric paints, and brushes. They searched for chemistry photos and clipart that could be traced on to the white muslin squares and then painted with the fabric paints. Each student's name was printed on the completed quilt squares with permanent fabric markers. The quilt squares were then pieced together into a quilt top. The quilt is now in the final stages of completion, with the quilt being machine quilted.   Jason Project Quilt
