My granddaughter who is 3 is collecting fat quarters for her first quilt. I told her we will start it when she is 4 and can somewhat help at the sewing machine. In the mean time she is collecting several fat quarters every time we are somewhere they sell them. I usually get at least 2 of each one. That way we have at least 1/2 yard of a color. She has so many that we have multiples of several colors. Or if it is a color that she REALLY LIKES then I will get a few more while I can find it. She has several hundred so far. We also have the backing picked out for a full size quilt. She sits on the floor arranging the colors and we take pictures of what she designs for future reference.
