you should have alexis help make the king size quilt with you. that way she will have a greater love and appreciation of the quilt and maybe talk her into making it the size of her bed or queen size.

Gave her a list of colors. My sister was so impressed, that this little girl had thought & put so much effort into her plan! She ASKED (always a mistake) is there anything else?To which, ALEXIS replied, "yes,please make it KING-SIZE, 'cause I know this is only happening ONCE!"We do have a VERY lg family!Why settle for a throw or twinsize, when someone's giving you a choice! LOL!!!

She got a regular sz quilt,but w/all the things she wanted. That was several years ago, she & her cousin now practice sewing straight lines! She is also trying to learn to crochet. I agree its wonderfulto have younger ones interested in the arts-sewing!
