Precut quilt squares make it easy- just knot the fringe together.

Just Knot!
ALEX® craft kits emphasize simple and fun activities for kids. The Knot-A-Quilt requires no cutting, sewing or knitting. All your child needs to know is how to tie a simple knot. The quilt kit includes bright and colorful pre-cut fringed fleece squares in pink, orange, yellow, green, turquoise and purple. Kids will have fun laying out their patterns and passing the time connecting all the squares into a snuggly keepsake quilt. Because the finished product is so beautiful and functional, they will feel especially proud of their creation.

Time to Craft!
The ALEX® Knot-A-Quilt makes a super great gift. It's the perfect kit to bring along to a slumber party for a night of crafting. Friends can help lay out the pieces and plan the pattern before connecting the squares edge to edge. This kit also makes a great rainy day activity. Kids won’t get bored knotting the fringes together, improving their manual dexterity as their knotting skills become second nature and their quilt takes shape.

Super Soft, Super Fun!
Each brightly colored square measures nine inches by nine inches. All are pre-cut, so there is no preparation work involved. The printed instructions are simple to follow, but if your child needs a little extra help or direction assembling the quilt, step-by-step video instructions are available for viewing online at www.alextoys.com. The final quilt can be used as a bedspread or a cozy blanket, and is the perfect gift for the beginning quilter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for long trips, December 29, 2007

This review is from: Alex Toys Knot-A-Quilt (Toy)

My 7 year old daughter spent several hours knotting the pieces of this quilt together on a 9 hour road trip. Everytime she put it down she would pick it back up and say, "one more." She didn't exactly make a quilt, she knottted a "purse" and a "hood" (mistakes turned useful) but she enjoyed it very much. If she'd had an adult's guidance making a quilt wouldn't have been a problem. This was a fantastic change from the constant DVD viewing that typically takes place on such long trips. I definitely recomend this craft.

My teenage neices LOVED it, even tho it seemed a toy for a much younger audience. It was quite beautiful and I considered ordering some for myself. I did have to order two for it to be big enough.

This review is from: Alex Toys Knot-A-Quilt (Toy)

My kids and I worked on this project together. My ten-year-old enjoyed it and was very proud of the results. However, my eight-year-old got very frustrated and gave up. I decided to help and discovered why it was so frustrating for the younger child. The strips of fabric that you are supposed to tie together are just BARELY long enough to make a double knot. We had to work on the quilt in short periods of time because of the high frustration factor (even for me.) Just be aware that he picture on the box, with the perfectly flat quilt and perfectly tied knots is an impossible standard--the quilt we made was puckered and uneven, and that was with an adult helping. (It's still a cute quilt, and as long as my kid is happy, who cares?) Also, you have to be careful because if you pull the knots tight, you can actually tear the thin fleece. Since my older child enjoyed it, I'm going to get some more durable fabric and make a similar kit myself--I'll cut the strips longer so the knots will be much easier to tie. Overall, a good project for just the right child, probably an older child with a long attention span and good dexterity.
