Another question: How retentive is your niece? It would make me crazy to see your perfect blocks next to my wonky blocks.
Maybe you can do the blocks for her and let her do the finishing? You say she's not a quilter, but does that also mean she's never sewn anything?
Good luck-hope you can help her through it and find a new quilting buddy for yourself in the process!
She is good at retaining information. The process of putting all the pieces together didn't bother her, infact she set up and pinned all the pieces for me to sew. I'm not worried about that part of it. It's just seems like so many pieces that have to fit for someone who hasn't sewn all that much. She won't have time to sew for a couple weeks, when she is ready, I'll have everything cut ready and if she doesn't think that she can make the blocks, I will do them for her and let her sew them and the embroidery block together and put the borders on it.
Thanks everyone for the help.
