My great nephew (was age 10) and two great neices (at the time both were 7) did their first quilts. Though they were just patchworth 4x4 blocks, i felt that if they finished them then we would see about more quilting. My first quilt was a hand embrodaried colonial lady queen size that i still have. lol, I had to pick the hardest quilt to do first at age 16.. i had a wonderful time with the kids learning to quilt and the girls still want to quilt...so is is great to see the next generation of quilters...have fun.
