Summary: 3 Stars
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.
