You have to be very ,very proud of her and thank you for your respond. At present our youth is sewing 2 and 3 inch strips on 10 inch squares of paper to learn 1/4 inch seam. Your respond will be very helpful when she start putting the squares together.
I'm glad I could help. I think thats a wonderful thing your doing teaching kids to sew. Are they all kids or adults also? :thumbup: :)

I did the first two rows for her and showed her how to connect the seams and showed her where to put the pins, then watched her as she did the rest. She's a fast learner . There are a few mistakes but you can't really see them in the picture. Some of the squares are bunched up.

BRAVO!
I love grandmas who understand how important it is for dolly to have a quilt!
And, I love little girls who consider their dollies important enough to warrant special care.
Your DGD did a great job on her first quilt, and I am sure that you have instilled a thirst of creative in her that will serve her well in the years to come.
Good show!<wave>
