Her first quilt

Well my granddaughter (13) just finished her first quilt, done with a little help and advice but otherwise 90% done by herself. 😀 I had the flannel fabric in my stash for quite some time and the backing is fleecy stretch fabric. To stabilise the lot instead of wadding we put a piece of sheet. Done it before and I find it works great when you quilt, nothing shifts 👍
She’s so proud of herself ❤️ Thanks for looking and have a great weekend !!!

Heartwarming to see a young one so interested and really trying. I have hope for mine since daughter's not interested....Great job 'teenager'!

Interesting use of the pool noodles!
It's rewarding to see the young generation sharing in the hobbies/skills of our own. You are making good memories with her.

She did well!!! So nice when they show an interest. Even if it is something that happens once, it's a treasured memory nonetheless. Happy Sewing!

I think her quilt is fabulous!! She did a great job and is very conscientious of all the details. You should be so proud of this pretty, talented young lady grandma!! I hope the first quilt of many to come. A sweet bond for the 2 of you. Thanks for sharing.
