I met her today and after hearing the explaination for cutting it in half to make it wider not long she understood why that amount was needed. I also brought a king size quilt with me so that I could show her exactly how big that is.
I did explain to her that next time she had questions she should talk to me first rather than get opinons from others that might not have the same vision as I do because assumptions are the mother of all things bad.
Thank you all so much for keeping my backbone strong, its good to know my friends have my back. :)
I will post pictures of their finished masterpieces some time in Dec. I really am enjoying teaching the girls, they get so excited to see their accomplisments.
