Daughter's first quilt!
 

This is my 9 year old daughter's first quilt. In fact, it is her first sewing project! I'm pretty impressed with her sewing abilities. She will get better with seam allowances, but for a first project she did a wonderful job. I put the binding on because there wasn't much room for mistakes on that part, but she did the rest. I've glued down the binding for her to hand sew, which might take a long time, but she'll complete it. She picked out all the colors and chose the pattern. This was a great simple first pattern to make.

I had her zig zag around the squares rather than stitch in the ditch because with the cheap fat quarter material from Joann's and her sometimes short seam allowances, I wanted to be sure the quilt didn't unravel.

She is adorable and her quilt is too!

She did an outstanding job on the quilting and on the colors!

Good for her!!!! She did a great job! Thanks to you for teaching her.

Love seeing young quilter's getting started! Darling Daughter and what a pretty quilt-give her a hug for a job done well.

I think she is lucky to have you as a teacher... not enough young girls get the opportunity to learn sewing anymore. She did a wonderful job and hopefully she will be excited to do another.
