    6.) I think the keeping quilt is like a kind of Talking cloth because both tell a story through art and pictures. It reminds me of the saying a picture can speak 1,000 words. Talking cloths and Keeping Quilts can have different meanings for different people. Thanks for allowing me to post your class blog. I can't wait to see what your students have to say about the story!
