Very cute quilt! I love her blocks. They have such depth......they look like roses, I just realized!
She's obviously an artist. Encourage her all you can! And yes, I think Brothers are good buys. MY DIL whose sewing consists mainly of homemade dog collars (she makes some really adorable ones) has an inexpensive Brother she bought at Wal-Mart several years ago and has never had a problem with it. I have a more expensive Brother 450Q (a gift); it's a computerized machine. I'm a long time Singer woman, but I like the Brother, too.
