PERSONAL STORY QUILTS AND INDIVIDUAL STORY SQUARES
Personal Story Quilt: A story quilt is comprised of a series of personal/ individual
story squares. Each square is used to portray a story, image or the unique personal
ideas and perspectives of an individual youth. Once all the individual story squares
are completed they are connected using a variety of methods to create a quilt which
can be hung and which in turn tells a much bigger story.
Story quilts may be created around a specific theme, event or experience with students
developing their own story square based upon their interpretation of the given topic.
Equally, the square may depict special feelings or things of particular interest to
the student or it may simply speak to the general creativity of a child.
Individual squares should be no larger than 10” x 10” and can be made of fabric, paper
or other materials upon which youth can draw, crayon, glue, and/or staple their
personal story. Photos, found treasures, small objects from home, pictures taken from
magazines, and/or personal drawings or poems can be included. Individual story squares
can be put together by sewing, stapling, etc.
