Good job. Bet she can teach you a few things about your computer or cell phone, too. Kids are something
else, aren't they? :)

I had the panel up on my design board and asked my two daughters what they thought. My youngest, age 7, grabbed the mini star blocks and arranged them, alternating on-point blocks with traditionally set blocks. Then, she suggested I use the darker gray (with flecks of purple) as sashing to make it different from the original Day & Night quilt that these cast offs came from. :0 I was floored. This coming from the girl who doesn't have the patience to sit still long enough to learn her multiplication table!

a big thumbs up to the 7 year old.

She's smarter than she's letting on. Definately has some artistic talent.

You're going to add your daughters name to the quilt label, right? What a great way to reinforce what a great contribution she made --- and you might just have a little one who wants to learn how to quilt then!

Yes, I had already thought of that. But, I'm not going to tel her until the quilt is done and then I can show it to her before I ship it off to her aunt since it was a gift for my sister.

You need to buy her a sewing machine, turn her loose and see what happens!! lol Of course, she will need safety lessons first. My granddaughters love to sew, I just slow down the speed, instruct them to keep their fingers away from the needle. Otherwise it's gonna hurt!!!!! Their answer is: I know, MeMe.

Way ahead of you!! :) She has a Janome Quilter's Companion and so does her sister.
