When my 4 grandchildren were born, I made each of them 2 small flannel quilts. I gave one to my daughter for my grandchildren. Those ended up in tatters, but I kept one for them to use when they stayed at our house. Now my oldest granddaughter has a baby and he has my copy of her quilt which seems brand new. When the other kids have kids, they will still have a "brand new" looking quilt. Eventually, they will still get their quilt whether they have kids or not.
In the meantime , I have been trying to re quilt my mother's wedding ring quilt. (For years, she was begging me to take some of the batting out as it was too thick.). I washed both the top and the backing and mended a tear, but the backing no longer fits the top. So, I am going to have to spread out the top, cut new batting and add a new backing to fit. It is still waiting.......
