If she has some basic knowledge of sewing, I agree about the rail fence project. Also, I think the 10 minute block would not be too hard either. Gives a quilt a little something extra. If she has no sewing knowledge, for sure give her the basics of tools before anything else. Good luck. Let us know how the lessons go.

Thank you!!
Thanks for all the good suggestions. I like all the ideas. Having her make a quilt to donate is a great idea. I'm thinking either a Quilt of Valor (her late husband was a WWII vet) or I like the easy quilt patterns from Quilts for Kids web site - and donate to a kids hospital. I think I will offer her a couple of projects to choose from, and have her pick what interests her most - rather than me picking. I will make the project that she doesn't pick - so we'll have two quilts to donate!

When I was being taught on my first quilt, I just chose three fabrics and cut 12 x 12 blocks. Sewed the blocks into rows and then the rows together. Quilted by hand (SID) and binded. It was easy and very forgiving on mistakes.

When I was in 4-H a few years back (lol) my project leader had picked 12 quilt blocks all different and pretty basic patterns out for use to do, but each one teaching a different skill such as squares, triangles, circles, etc. I guess you could say like a sampler quilt. We all really enjoyed it and the good thing was you where always changing to keep a person interested as if one is too hard or too simple they didn't get bored or fed up and just quit. Also they she could use each block as a mug rug or hot pads to give as gifts.

yes work with her-just start small and basic.After finishing something and getting the satisfaction then she will be all fired up for something a little bigger.
