Me: "A quilt."
(holds up block to show her)
"Who's it for?"
Me: "I'm not sure yet."
(pauses for minute)
"Well you need to finish it. It's got to get a lot bigger."
She's right, you know.
And she keeps me on track. I love how she always asks who it's for. :)

I know who for! Me! That is just gorgeous. I would love to work on my improv!
I have two 4 year olds!!! Bad news it get worse at 5!!
Absolutely love the look of what you're working on!
Wow, I think 438 is spot on!!! I love that block you're working on, i't just fabulous!!
Awesome block - I love it.
Love the block you're working on!
That is so adorable!! Kids are great! I love that block, great colours :)
How sweet! I love the "little quilt" too!
What a fun quilt!! :) That statistic seems a little low to me, though... lol!!
I really like this!.
i am over the moon for this block. also... my favorite is when said 3 year old asks the exact same question 438 times. yes, exact same question. my very favorite. it is amazing how many different answers i can give.
Beautiful block, can't wait to see the whole quilt.
I love this story, and your W.i.P!
I love your WIP! Beautiful. My daughter always tells me I need to make my WIPs bigger too. Ha :)
Off to Lee's to see her tutorial!
What a sweetie you have there. I'll bet you give away most of your projects - therefore, who's it for fits right in. :)
Lee's idea for the Lego bag is great. Not just a bag but a way to keep those little pieces under some kind of control.
Love, love, love the block! You are more than off and running with your improv piecing. Mark my words, you will be teaching at Summit (or some other equally wonderful venue) soon! And I hear you on the 3 yr. old thing...between my two 3 yr. olds and 5 yr. old, I'm constantly explaining the craziest things! (i.e. "Mommy, why is your name Mommy???" - seriously!)
Awesome block, it looks like it took a long time. I have not tried much improv piecing, I did make a quilt back doing it, but it was a much larger scale!
Awesome piecing, Jennifer! I love it, and your daughter's line of questioning, too. ;)
Ooh, love where this is going. Or not. Oh,
you know what I mean ;o)
Aren`t 3 year olds the best though? Mine always says, `Mummy, is that quilt for me?`...so egocentric but very adorable. Thanks for the tutes Jennifer and love that block!

gorgeous quilt in the making and wanted to say thanks so much for organising the 12 gifts blog hop - I'm loving the tutorials
Toddlers speak the truth. Very nice block!
I look forward to see how this block will end up into a bigger quilt!
Daughters can be the best! My daughter often gives my ideas, which gives just the right touch to the whole.
WOW!! It is gorgeous!! Whoever gets it will be one loved person!!
So gorgeous and if you need a recipient than I am your girl :) Little ones are the best!
I guess I'm still a 4 year ok'd in my head, because I think I mentally ask about that many questions a day, too. Thank goodness it's just in my head, though, I think otherwise I'd drive the hubs nuts.
I love what you've done with your wip. The colors and piecing are so dynamic.
