A snow ball block on point is a fabulous and fast project. Pick a main fabric for the center of the block and add the four corners from coordinating fabric. Can't be simpler. If you just used tone on tones and solids there would be no age limit to it. Plaids, checks, stripes, polka dots all work for age neutral projects. Here is a sample of a Snow Ball quilt I did a while ago.It went together fast.
