you should have alexis help make the king size quilt with you. that way she will have a greater love and appreciation of the quilt and maybe talk her into making it the size of her bed or queen size.

I agree, get Alexis to help you on the quilt. Not only will she have a quilt she loves but memories to go with it.!
Besides, if you make a king size quilt you will need the help! :) |

She ASKED (always a mistake) is there anything else?To which, ALEXIS replied, "yes,please make it KING-SIZE, 'cause I know this is only happening ONCE!"We do have a VERY lg family!Why settle for a throw or twinsize, when someone's giving you a choice! LOL!!!

LOL Alexis is a very smart and clever little girl :D:D:D

She got a regular sz quilt,but w/all the things she wanted. That was several years ago, she & her cousin now practice sewing straight lines! She is also trying to learn to crochet. I agree its wonderfulto have younger ones interested in the arts-sewing!
