Day 3: cut fabric
Day 4, 5, 6: make blocks
Day 7: layout blocks and sew rows together
Day 8: finish piecing top/pin/quilt (we used walking foot and very simple pattern)
Day 9: Bind

She had a good time, learned how to make a basic block and her mother loved the quilt. I made sure that the quilt pattern wasn't too difficult and the fabric wasn't too expensive.
Great reply--love your outline--may I use your ideas to help some gals that have asked to "learn how to quilt" I have picked out an easy pattern and we will probably start a lap or crib size and address the "quilting" part after the assesmby.
