the problem with this product is that the quilt turns out to be about 1/10th the size of the quilt that is pictured on the box and in the advertizment. also my neice and i put put it together and she is ten. the quilt is reccommended for kids as young as 6. NO WAY! it was a little like 6 sessions chinese water. nice bonding time but i cant see a regular 6 year old having the endurance to finish it, i almost didnt! because i want my neice to have a quilt like the one on the box i am very tempted to buy 10 more kits and adding them to the one we made together. but i dont think i would have enough days in my life left to finish it. she did like it though and felt proud of the little napkin we made together.

I ordered this for my 7 year old, and she loves it. The only thing is that her quilt didn't turn out so nice and neatly done as the picture shown. She knotted too tightly and has gaps between each square. But over all she enjoyed using her hands, and laying out how her quilt would look.

I purchased this item as a craft gift that my daughter could make for her aunt. True, it isn't an extremely durable item, but my expectation is that it will be more of a "collectible" than a quilt that is getting actual USE.

My daughter is 10 and she didn't have any issues with tying the knots (although she did complain a bit about how many she had to tie). She enjoyed laying out the pattern and choosing which squares would have the special additional decorations.

I would say that the finished item is smaller than you might think of for a throw or quilt; we considered getting an additional package so she could expand it, but remembering again that this will be more of a sentimental item than a useful quilt, she decided to just finish it at the size included. The felt is pretty thin, but it you are an experienced sewer you could probably back it to another fabric to make it more like a real quilt.

I think this will be very appreciated by the recipient even though it wouldn't pass muster as a durable blanket on a cold night!
