Quilts

These quilts are constructed from individual creative reflections on speaker presentations by participants in my classes. The quilts are constructed using AndreaMosaic software. Clicking on a quilt thumb will take you to the interactive version of the quilt (opens in a new tab). You can click on any tile in the interactive version to see the individual creative reflections.
