So my daughter is six, and a few times a year I will sew outfits for her (usually a Christmas dress and an Easter dress, pajamas, etc.). Over the years I've saved the material from those outfits, and some of the clothing she couldn't bear to let go, as well as from projects that we've done together. One year for Christmas we made people fleece blankets. We've made some latch-hook pillows. So, Last year I bought a book, "Easy Weekend Quilted Projects" or something (I know "easy" and "weekend" were definitely in the title) so I could make a quilt for her bed. Now, a year and a half later, I've finished it. As a side note, Chickie did also help me cut out some of the pieces for the quilt at the beginning, and do some of the pinning during the sewing. I think it turned out pretty well. But it will be a long time before I make another quilt again.
