ummmm....when I decided to teach my niece and nephew to stitch, I took out a box of scrap 2.5 inch squares figuring they could make a simple doll quilt out of them....well....they had other ideas what to do with them....they chained pieced two squares together and kept on chaining until they had made a "banner" and hung it over the doorways in grandma's house. they had great fun, but I am not sure they will ever be quilters!!!!
