I taught both my daughters at that age. Sadly, they got bored with the pattern I picked..memories for me though I have a quilt the three of us has worked on. Now the good news is when i let them choose they loved it! My oldest loves batiks so she took a charm pack and did half squares and made a star illusion dresser topper. My other daughter picked to do charm squares, sewed them together into a nine patch, she loves to FMQ so she did her own and I bond both. I found that if I gave them the freedom to come up with their own they loved it!! They both use there dresser toppers in their rooms! Hope that helps!
