For the three boys, I will probably use soft colors too. It seems funny thinking about making quilts to "put back", but I'm 71, and only two grandchildren are of the age to become parents, and there is a good chance I won't be around to see Greats from the younger ones, so this is my way of showing love for them when I'm not here. IS that being silly?
No, it's love. I plan on doing the same thing. I'm only 5 years behind you. Gerry
definitely LOVE...
Im 38, and am starting to gather fabrics to make baby quilts for grandchildren I will never see. They will be put away with letters to be given to my children, when they need them :D I want them to know they were loved, long before they were even a gleam in their parents eyes :D
