Oh yes, ranger. If I teach a child to quilt, he/she wouldn't be able to use one, so how would I teach them??
Actually, my son took a sewing class when he was about 7 yrs old and after making some awesome pillows, he went on to make a quilt of his own at home. He used cardboard templates, (as I did for this one)--just squares. It wasn't too bad. it was interesting to watch him choose fabrics. I'll have to psot that one some time. I'm sure it's in his closet.
