he quilt in the picture was produced by a group composed of two college departments that had just been merged. People were nervous about changes that would have to be made as a result of the merger. A facilitator conducted the community quilt exercise as an ice breaker/team building activity for the first staff meeting of the merged group. After debriefing the activity, the facilitator asked everyone to write on his/her sheet one action he/she was willing to take to help improve communication in the newly merged group
