I put all my quilts together on my floor. My little boys think that if there is a quilt or fabric spread on floor it is time to run all over it. Usually try to do after they are in bed. This time they decide that they would be helpful and "help" me pin it. Took a little longer. But we had fun doing it. They didn't know they were helping me with their Christmas presents.

You are right - kids do slow you down. But they are so much fun and great to cuddle with! Kind of like quilts, right?

Awwwww.....aren't they just too cute for words??!! :-) I noticed that even the little one is "helping." Must be holding the quilt down so it doesn't fly away, huh? :lol:

Adorable boys! But as I looked at them I thought, "Those guys are all going to be teenagers at the same time..." LOL, have fun until then!

What wonderful family memories you are building. I would try to quilt on a frame when my children were little. They just thought it was the best hideout for them to be under it. They were triplets. They all have great respect for quilted items.
