Sounds like she might wind up being our youngest member on The Quilting Board soon. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png

I loved the quilt you and your daughter made together. In fact, I thought the pattern looked familiar and lo and behold I went looking thru my pattern bins and there it was. Guess I really like it! :)

Congratulate her for me please! Great job for both of you!! This quilt is making me smile from ear to ear!

Cute and fun quilt. How lovely to do this project together and have shared memories!

Did she help you sew any of the seams? My grandson was 5 when we watched one of Alex Anderson's Simply Quilts episodes on kids making quilts. He decided that he wanted to make a quilt too. We discussed what he would do with it -- keep it for himself, donate it to sick kids, or give it to a family member. He decided to give it as a baby gift to his auntie.
I cut 4 1/2" squares and he sewed them together on the machine while I supervised. Yeah, some of his seams were wonky (I redid a few after he went home for the day) but all in all it was a good quilt for a 5-year-old. It was 36" x 36" when he decided that it was big enough "because babies are really tiny, Grandma." I quilted it (FMQ kind of scared him that he might put a needle through his finger) and he gave it to his auntie at her baby shower. Cousin went to his baptism wrapped in Grandson's quilt. |

I realize that the title of my post could be misleading now that I’m re-reading it and reading some of the comments! I’m sorry about that! I didn’t mean she sewed the quilt. |
