She spent yesterday going thru my stash trying to match up colors. The first pic is the colors she chose. She was trying to match colors to the yellow fabric with the flowers on it. I didn't tell her anything except if it looks good to you then it will work. The second one is colors I chose to go together and she loved it mainly because it is her school colors, black and gold. Now let's see if she takes the next step and sews them together.

Sweet!! We need to keep the traditions alive!!Keep us posted!!

I love to see the young people taking an interest in quilting

OOHH Hope she is hard at work on it again :thumbup: And just think you get to buy more fabric now that you have to share :wink:

Me too. She looks like she's enjoying herself too. I hope she decides to sew them together herself. Tell her we want tosee her work as she's doing it!

Love it!

She doesn't know I took photo's. I'm going to keep a photo record of her progress. Thank you

So great she wants to quilt!!!
I can't get my girls to try it yet and they 23, 26 & 28.
Maybe when they "settle down"

I will be watching to see her quilt!! :-D

How great!

I taught my two girls to quilt as well. My oldest daughter made 2 small quilts and the youngest made only 1/2 of one since she wasn't really "into that kind of thing". I homeschooled them for 9 years so I had the time.

How nice! A mother/daughter project. Keep us posted on her progress can't wait to see her quilt all done.

Definitely want a progress report periodically. And I love the color of your cutting mat, btw.

The cutting mat she is using is the very first mat I got when I started quilting. It is an old purple june taylor mat.
I now use a june taylor cut and press, which I have almost worn out and I have only had it for about 5 months.lol

It is sew exciting to see young people take up quilting. Good job mom.

Wait til she see's the butterflies I got today.

That is so cool that your DD wants to start quilting. She has a good teacher!

Looks like there is a new quilter among us. I can't wait to see what she creates.

I teach young children how to sew and the imagination they have is amazing..Please post pics as she completes her project as many of us will keep watching for it.

Lovely to see your daughter is going to take after you in the sewing tradition, my own DD is just coming round to it, fingers crossed! I am sure your daughter will want to see how her chosen colours will come together, get her started on joining them, doing it together, and it won't seen so daunting for her. Looking forward to seeing the top finished.

Will enjoy watching her progress. What a great time you will have together.

Isn't it a great feeling when our kids finally appreciate what we've been doing for a while. Great that she's having ago. My 2nd DD has pieced two top for her children, and now she's waiting for me to finish em. Onlyproblem is I won't.
She started em, she finishes em. Could be a long wait.

Thats soo cool! Good Luck DD! :thumbup:
