How to make a quilt...

  Before the Community Quilt Day at the Mall at Prince George's, students learned how to make patches for a quilt.  Making a quilt is hard work, but if you follow the right steps and be creative, the finish product is fantastic.  Students this month learned the history behind Quilting in Prince George's County.
