Would love to see photos, hope that you can figure out how to post them.
I also teach my two grand-daughters to quilt, ages 6 & 8. The six year old is just starting, she's made 9 court house step blocks so far. The next time we get together she'll be learning how to sew them all together. My 8 year old grandchild has made about 5 or 6 quilts so far and she's only been sewing for a year. She's given them all away except for one that she's keeping for herself.
I love teaching my grandkids, I'm sure you enjoy it, too!
