I had the panel up on my design board and asked my two daughters what they thought. My youngest, age 7, grabbed the mini star blocks and arranged them, alternating on-point blocks with traditionally set blocks. Then, she suggested I use the darker gray (with flecks of purple) as sashing to make it different from the original Day & Night quilt that these cast offs came from. :0 I was floored. This coming from the girl who doesn't have the patience to sit still long enough to learn her multiplication table!

You're going to add your daughters name to the quilt label, right? What a great way to reinforce what a great contribution she made --- and you might just have a little one who wants to learn how to quilt then!

My granddaughters love to sew, I just slow down the speed, instruct them to keep their fingers away from the needle. Otherwise it's gonna hurt!!!!! Their answer is: I know, MeMe.
