No Sew Quilting
A faster and easier way to quilt in the classroom! No Sew Quilting has all the patterning benefits of quilting, without the difficulty and time of using a needle and thread. In this activity, students use Styrofoam and swimsuit fabric to create wonderful patterns or depict images from any topic.
