Of course, I follow it up with the fact that she'd have to use fabric from her own stash to make the quilt. "Or, we could make it with part my fabric and part your fabric" she countered. My little hoarder.
I found some old dogs in the stash bin (that's what we call the ugly fabrics - dogs) that matched one of her fabric pieces. I laid them out for her and she immediately starts showing me with her hands where we need to cut the pieces to alter the pattern from straight square blocks to squares and rectangles. I love the way her brain works!
Today, I wash the fabrics and then we'll cut them into rectangles and squares. I think this is gonna be fun.
Toodles,

Yes, yes, yes! Rock on, casserole and potpie! And post photos!!!!
no teaser photos of the fabric chosen??? you're mean.
Love the collaboration between you two! She's already an artist at such a young age. She's so lucky to have you for a momma...someone who will encourage her and let her create whatever she can dream up!
Can't wait to see the outcome! I've been wanting to try a little quilt for the premature baby quilt project (the quilts aren't premature, the babies are.) I'll probably be coming to you for tips as I'm complete novice. :)
Haha, I love that she hoards fabric. Such a clever little girl!!
