My grandaughter, Brianna, wanted to make a quilt so I chose the Birdhouse BOM for her to do. She is choosing the fabric, tracing and cutting out the pattern on the fusible and ironing it onto the fabric. I'm cutting the pieces out and then she's ironing them onto the background. She's done a great job! She wanted to use the fall fabric I have for another quilt so I stopped at Joann's and got her own 8 FQs of fall colors to go with what she chose from my stash.
Next she'll learn how to sew them on.

Awww... I'm so proud of her. I was off doing something else around the house and she did one of them totally by herself, start to finish, and it looks great too.
I gave her a pointer that it might help to trace the straight lines if she used a ruler. She didn't get the ruler but I looked at one she was working on and she was using the edge of a hard cardboard square that was on the table.
Improvising and using what's available even at her age. :wink:
