Ms. Murphy's Sophomore English classes read “Everyday Use”, by Alice Walker. The theme was quilting, an American folk art. In the South, quilts have a rich tradition influenced by African textile designs and historic American patterns. Quilts are often passed down in families for generations. Quilting is an American folk art.

The students' assignment was to create a quilt square that represented each individual: their personality, tradition, families, and other things of value. Once the students completed the quilt squares, the Sophomore Fashion Tech students sewed them together, all 66 of them.
