You have to be very ,very proud of her and thank you for your respond. At present our youth is sewing 2 and 3 inch strips on 10 inch squares of paper to learn 1/4 inch seam. Your respond will be very helpful when she start putting the squares together.

I'm glad I could help. I think thats a wonderful thing your doing teaching kids to sew. Are they all kids or adults also? :thumbup: :)

BRAVO!
I love grandmas who understand how important it is for dolly to have a quilt!
And, I love little girls who consider their dollies important enough to warrant special care.
Your DGD did a great job on her first quilt, and I am sure that you have instilled a thirst of creative in her that will serve her well in the years to come.
Good show!<wave>
