Default My 7 yr old Granddaughters first quilt

This is my granddaughter, Emily, who turned 7 in June. She picked all the fabrics for her quilt, arranged them on the design board after they were cut and began sewing them together. Her Mom or I pinned and pressed for her and the little minx started piecing. There were only 5 seams in all those blocks that had to be ripped and resewn(less than what I probably rip in a quilt). She was so proud. She has put a framing border on and the only thing left is the outside borders. I am amazed at the skill a 7 year old has in this quilt. She kept telling me "I am so excited sewing my own quilt.". I will post the finished quilt when it is totally quilted. Does it get any better than this? Now she is referring to my FW as her sewing machine.
