    tub quilts are easy. cut 5 inch strips and sew together. into a tub. Then cut into five inch strips again. Take out the stitches with block 1 the next row block 2 and so on. I think we used a quarter yard of 5 different fabrics. Easy, fast and several different skills. My grand daughter was 8 when we made her quilt this way. If you want a bigger quilt, use more fabric or cut wider strips. Have fun.

    I taught 4-H 25 years ago...then we started them out with a simple dish towel, or an apron. I saw many kids lose interest because it wasn't something for them! So..maybe a doll blanket, or the scrunchies(as previously suggested).

    What a great idea! I'll have to try that with my grandkids. Thanks.

    After we got my niece her machine and had her get familiarized with the manual, we gave her striped fabric. She pinned the stripes so they lined up (her idea). Hemmed the edges then turned it into a small tote 10x 6". She put handles on it and has made a few for friends birthdays. She wanted the stripes to line up right. Lot of simple patterns.
