Easy Pattern for me and my 10 year old.
#1
When I'm done with my sampler quilt, I want to help my 10 year old daughter make her own quilt. It has got to be something very simple. I will do all the fabric measuring and cutting and will have her piece it and possibly quilt it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I always think rail fence is a good beginner's quilt because you don't have to match any seams when you stitch the blocks together. Also, the pattern looks more complicated to make than it is.
You can check eBay for the Turning Twenty pattern, or Google it. I got mine off eBay.

Once again, I am going to suggest the "5 & Dime" quilt pattern by all washed up. Great for a beginner.

A rag quilt is a great first quilt. It is quick, easy, and probably the most forgiving. I have made several and taught my neice how to make one. Flannel is wonderful, nice color/print selection, and you don't have to use batting. It is still warm and really soft. It lets a new sewer get a feel for seam allowances and using the sewing machine, while building their confidence.
