Two years ago I came home from a retreat all fired up about the "French Roses" pattern. I showed it to my oldest granddaughter (then 15) and announced I would make her one! She was totally underwhelmed! Until I mentioned that she could pick out the fabric! WOW -cool, great! And we were off and running. Now I have made 3 of them and each GD picked out her own fabrics and helped with the cutting and construction. All in all, very nice experiences.
