How heart warming! Obviously, you make fine quilts too. When my son's 2 "blended" with another family with 2 children, they were upset to find their new siblings were quiltless and immediately shared, their own decision. Your granddaughter, like mine, obviously knows that her quilts represent being wrapped in your love, a good thing for any child to know.

Our 3 sons received quilts from their grandmother as they were growing up. So did the granddaughters. Guess who still uses or displays their grandma quilts? That's right, the boys. Only one granddaughter out of the 5 girls uses and cherishes her grandma quilt.

Let's you know that all that work is worth it and appreciated. I gave my youngest son a quilt just a few years ago for Christmas. It was the Carpenter's Square ( he loves carpentry work) and the first things is did with it was take it home and hang it. What a thrill that was for me! ! I knew he really loved it. I put a sleeve on every quilt I make , so it can be hung or not.
