    She will love it now and love it then because it was made by you. At thirty she will have wonderful memories of you making this for her when she was seven. It has exactly the right amount of brightness.

    The colors are happy and maybe she will wag it around and love it and by the time she's 30 she'll have to frame the remnant that's left.

    I think the color choice is perfect and she will love it even when she's 30 cause you made it for her.

    I am a senior citizen too, & I like it. If it's her favorite color, she will always like it. If her prefernce changes when she's 30, she can look back as a historical fact about her: what she liked at that age.
    I don't think it's bright at all, in fact I think it's pretty subtle, maybe my eyesight is going? LOL.
    I think she'll love it. Great job!

    Hi Bevster: This pattern is called, "Hidden Wells" There are many sites with instructions. It is very easy. You decide on your strips and colors. Sew at least 5 together and then measure the width of the sewn piece, cut a square out of the strips and then you cut those squares diagnally. Then put the triangles together to make this pattern. Super easy but appears to be very difficult.

    Thank you for your encouragement and good luck making one for your GD. Yolanda Wood River

    Thank you everyone who answered my thread. You are all so great. Love this Board.

    The dark purple fabric is gorgeous up close. It has lovely flower designs in it. The photo makes it look like a solid. All fabrics are batik and are "patterned". I am totally in love with batiks. Thanks again. Yolanda Wood River
