My daughter doesn't like pics of herself, but she liked the hair! LOL
Oh, she did like the quilt - just not the subject. She said she thought the kids would like a portait of them.
So, now I have another "to-do"!
Are you going to do one of the kids?

This fall my daughter plans to secretly add another bedroom to their house. Some things have already been started, but the kids don't know what it is for, and are used to their parents re-doing things, so haven't thought too much about them tearing out part of a wall, or building up supplies. They will ship the kids off for a week to a friend, and we will get busy painting and re-carpeting the 2 old kids rooms, and putting in a wall, and doors to the new 3rd room (& painting and carpeting). Currently all 4 girls share a room, after the remodel only 2 kids per room. No one will be in the same room after the remodel that they are currently in.
I thought I could make one quilt of each kid, with their name, and we can hang it in their room, so they know which room is theirs. Maybe it could hang on their doors.

Can you share the pics of the kids that you might do? That keepsake can go with them when they grow up! (They won't have to live together forever that way, lol.) How old are they now?
Currently the oldest boy is 12, the youngest boy is 5. They will be in one room. The oldest girls are 11 & 10, they will share a room. The youngest girls are 6 1/2 & 8 1/2, they will be in the new room.
Wow, sorry these are so large!
