This is actually how I got into quilting as an adult! (I used to help my great- and grandmothers.) My girl scout troop (four girls) handpieced a double size quilt for a local soldier's widow. We machine stitched a smaller one for his two year old son. After the top was done, we road tripped to my mother's and used her quilt machine to put it together. Then we spent an afternoon with his family. The girls learned a lot more than stitching from that project.
