Hands-on-History: Martha Washington's Quilts

Martha Washington was an avid quilter, and three of her quilts are in Mount Vernon's collection today! Stop by the Hands-on-History room to see photos of these quilts and learn more about how they were made. 

While here, children can: 

• make a "quilt" of their own using scrapbook paper 
• complete a quilt block puzzle
• learn about how some of the fabrics in the quilts were reused from other projects 

There are also coloring activities to take home and do after your visit.
