I think the art of quilting and the enjoyment it brings will not die.
It was my niece who wanted to sew. She has been wanting for years now since she was 3 or so. We played around with it before but this is her first project. I think this is going to start something in her and now she is going to want to do a project every week! I would be thrilled if she did.

I dont want to push it on her. My mom was a sewer (seamstress, alterations) She pushed sewing on me hard and for years I didn't want anything to do with it. I hated sewing and sewing machines. When I had to sew it was by hand.
So I am going slow and let her guide me and not the other way around.
I am only 27 so I am young in the quilting world so I have hope that it will stick around
