Ask each preschooler to draw a simple picture beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. Choose simple objects a preschooler can draw, such as an apple for the letter A. Have kids that are able to neatly print their letter above the picture. For easier scanning, have the children use white paper with dark-colored crayons.
Scan the kids' drawings using iron-on transfer printer paper. Iron the drawings onto square or rectangular white cotton fabric.
Cut a variety of felt fabric into squares or rectangles that are slightly larger than the white-backed drawings. The felt will act as a frame for the decorated pieces, and should be cut large enough to have an approximately 2-inch border of felt all the way around.
Have students help you use the fabric glue to attach each white fabric drawing piece to a felt fabric piece. Center the white fabric carefully on the felt. Use a thin line of glue around the entire edge of the white piece to attach it.
Glue the felt pieces with the attached white fabric drawings together by overlapping the edges and securing with glue one row at a time until the entire quilt is put together. Alternatively, stitch the edges together using yarn and a large needle.
