How great would it be to make a patchwork map of the US, to celebrate our diversity and regional styles? I think this would be a great school, home school, or club project. If you made a pattern, I'm sure board members would send a swatch to represent their state. Kids could write thank yous, etc. Has someone done this already? Always a teacher, Dotty

I would just go and buy one of the big USA plastic maps and cut out each of the states and then use it for a pattern and could put magnets on back of each state for a puzzel
and make the states with different fabrics
