My 14 year old is making a blue D9P that is made from fabric left over from the log cabin his grandma (my mom) made for me years ago.
I love working with both of them. I just wish that my oldest didn't want to use the only machine I can quilt on. And I wish both of them would learn to pin their own stuff.

Too funny. I can't wait to post pics tomorrow. This quilt may swallow her when it comes time to put it together!

How wonderful, my son was interested in quilting when he was about 12, until he got bored using the sewing machine, he 1/2 finished a quilt, had picked out the fabrics himself and the LQS workers all thought that was just great lol. My daughter, 19, has never had an interest in sewing, but she is great with patterns, colors and fabrics, just not the sewing process sigh. Enjoy it while she is interested and hopefully it will stick.
