It is really about you and your daughter...no, not the best project for you---but this is about her. I would keep it simple and make sure she did most of the work. It is a great way to let your past relationship go while bringing your daughter closer.

I know it must be hard but in this situation it seems more about the relationship between you and your daughter than the relationship between you and your ex. If it were me I'd just be sure she does most of it and make it clear that you are not going to do it for her but with her.
LOL Coals of fire that was a good one Green heron.

i would help her- it is her father- and she certainly has the right to make him something special if that's what she wants- it really has nothing to do with you- other than her need with some quilting assistance/guidance- think of it as a project you are helping your daughter with---what she does with it when she is finished is up to her.

think like it is donating a quilt - you really never know the recipient there either - so in spite of by-gones, let it be exactly that - give your daughter what help she needs, but make her understand it is something "she wanted to overtake" so it is her baby - and make sure it is at her level so she can do most herself! you are only there for backup if needed..
Enjoy the time with your daughter - time is precious - and don't waste the time not spending it with her because of her wish to give your ex, her daddy- a home made gift from her.
