Well, I finally got my 8-year old granddaughter's quilt quilted. It was her first piecing. She saw the purple minkee I had and really wanted that for the backing. I'm not too crazy about the border fabric, but that was what she wanted.

I think that border is great for a little girl's quilt! So girly with the purple backing.

I love their little minds. They aren't all cluttered up by rules!!! She just sits down and does her thing.

Awesome quilt, Diane!!! Tell her - she did a great job! PS - does she want to join any of our swaps??? Never too young to start stash building!

That is so neat. She did a good job. So glad she's learning how to sew/quilt. She's a cutie.

SHE IS ONLY 8. WOW. My DD just turned 7 and wants to do more but I think I am holding her back. How big are the squares? You have given me a wonderful idea for Becca to work on with her machine.
