Whatever spurs their creativity! I think you guys did an awesome collaboration! A future quilter in the making! I only wish I could get someone/anyone of the daughters/females in my family to show an interest in quilting or even just sewing in general. Sigh! Lucky you!!!

My mother (with her 3 sisters) were forced to learn to sew and quilt, because of this they never did any of it as adults.
My advice, the best way to get them interested is to let them watch and/or have them draw something up and make a design of it. When they see their own artwork come to life in a different form (i.e. fabric) it spikes their curiosity.
I'm lucky that my oldest girls showed curiosity when they were around 5 and 6. One was just interested in the outcome and the other (which made the skull picture) wanted to know how it's done and she just recently had her first experience with the sewing machine.
I think the whole reason why it even got their interest to begin with was that it was off limits to them. Reverse psychology can be a wonderful thing.
