I decided that enrolling in a Block of the Month Club would be a good hands on way for my teenage daughter to learn the skills needs for traditional quilting. She has created a couple of wall hanging in the past using free style sewing so she is not new to the machine. We had two color themes to choose from, Evening Mist and Sea and Sand. Evening Mist being darker colors and Sea and Sand having blues and browns. I let her decide which she wanted to do, I figured since purple was her favorite color she would pick the darker colors and I would get the blue that I love.......WRONG she said dark colors are depressing. So we left the quilt shop toting our plastic bags with our material and instructions inside of them. I have to say I am impressed. She worked on her block until it was completed and it looks wonderful, she had no problem at all sewing an accurate 1/4 inch and didn't have to rip anything out! Me on the other hand have been sewing for years and had to tear out twice. I have never used any material I didn't love before, so this block of the month will be a challenge for me to step out of the comfort zone.
