Congratulations Grandma To Be! :D I like to call it being in the "grandmotherly way" :lol: Nothing better than being a grandparent, I love ALL the benefits that go with it! :D The card trick block would be cute, as well as Diamonds suggestions, maybe you will have time to make more than one as Loretta suggested? A matching small one for the crib sized one for a dolly or teddy bear?
Love the body bib! I will be making one of those for my 2yr old gs, he still loves to wear as much as he eats :lol: Maybe even bigger ones for the older grands to wear when they paint.... hmmmm

Congrats on the Grandbaby, Being a Grandparent is great :P , You get to do all the fun stuff that you couldn't do with your own. I don't worry about spoiling my Grandson, after all that's what his Grandma is for :lol:

Congatulations!!!! You're gonna love being a grandma, one thing that I wish I would have made for my little grandaughter (especially now that she's walking) are alot of the boo boo bunnies and bears. I use to have the pattern when her mommy was little, but couldn't find it again. They basically are a soft cloth, terry or flannel, wrapped around one of those plastic easter eggs that you put an ice cube in when ouchies happen, then tied into the shape of a bunny or bear with ribbon. The ears on the bunny are to wipe away the tears and the bunny belly is to make the boo boo better.

Congradulations on becoming a Grandma. You will love it. I have three granddaughters and I love every moment of them. Does your new mom have any kind of theme for the nursery? I kept the quilt simple because it will get washed alot!!!

Congratulations!
I agree with keeping it simple. Anything "really" nice and the parents may be afraid to use it!
My mom did bibs too, though not the full body kind, and I understand that that was the most appreciated gift my sister and SIL got.

Congrats on becoming a grandma.
Nothing better than holding a warm snuggley baby in your arms.
I made my granddaughters flannel and chenille quilts. That wash up great. Six inch blocks, alternating flannel and chenille, no batting, just fleece for the backing.
My daughters loved them!!!!
