Some of my quilts

You do some AWESOME work!! All of it is fantastic, but WOW your applique is absolutely beautiful! I think it sooo great that you and your daughter are surrounding the little one with crafts, and artsmanship. It's so wonderful when you start them at a very young age to appreciate the beauty of a craft (or crafts in this case) and the joy of doing it instead of just admiring or buying it. You're instilling a lot in that little one...keep up the wonderful work with her!!!

Thank you, everyone!!! Today I had my 3 year old granddaughter helping me with HER quilt - it has 4" squares (cut size) that are various pinks and greens - some stripes, polka dots, roses, etc. - just a colorful, floral patchwork, which along the top will have a white strip of fabric (not sure how big yet), and will have yo-yo flowers in that area. So, she picked out the placement of each square for the first 2 rows (with some guidance, since I kind of wanted dark, light, dark....), and as I sewed them together, she was playing in my craft room, which has a toybox in it for them, she was talking to her dolls about "her sewing machine", "her iron", "her quilt that she's making"... I can just see the two of them now, playing together in their bedroom at home....!!!! It might be the new rage!!
