First - the 'piece' is beautiful.
Just this last week I was teaching an 8 yr. old grt grand dgtr. a little about sewing. She had never used a sewing machine before & wanted to make something for her mom. I helped her make a "4 patch" potholder. I called it her "1st quilt block". By the way, she loved it & sounds like will be wanting to learn more about "quilts".
I like the dictionary explanation - it pretty much covers everything we quilters do when we 'cut up fabric to sew it back together' :wink:
