    What a good job can't wait for my girls to sew. My five year old GD showed me jelly rolls at Joann's maybe a quilter

    Kudos to her! She did a great job and a handmade gift always outweighs a store-bought one. Her friend will really love it and her for making it. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes I agree. She did a wonderful job. She quilts better than I do! I am forty something and have just started quilting myself. So you go girl.

    How wonderful & pretty!! Avianna is a true quilter, that's for sure. She must be so proud of herself, as she should be. What a Lucky friend she has to receive this beauty for her birthday. Congratulations Avianna!!

    Wonderful quilt and a wonderful story! She looks so proud! I love that you forgot about the selvedges and she had to learn to how make lemonade out of lemons! Not only learned how to do applique, but how to look a problem and find a solution.

    The beautiful young lady made a beautiful quilt. She will make her friend very happy, and she must be proud. A very worthy craft to learn also.
