Whatever you makes, do not be too critical! My granddaughter made her first quilt when she was 8 or 9. It was 4" square blocks. She had more fun laying them out on the floor to get the exact pattern she wanted. I taught her to sew the rows then put the rows together. I stressed making the corners meet until she looked up at me and said: "Gramma this is MY quilt, I like it this way". I quickly learned to keep my mouth shut!!
