The story of the daughter taking her quilt to college reminded me of something I had completely forgotten.
When my granddaughter was about 3 she decided there was a christmas quilt she liked nothing special it was a cheater. Any ways she took it home with her and carried it everywhere. It started to fall apart and she picked out fabric to make a new front it went right over what was there. About 3 years ago it was at the point where it was ready for the trash. I told her I would make her a new one. NOPE! this one had to have a new front and back with the old stuff inside. It is now on her college bunk. LOL Horrible looking thing but she loves it. She is 16 now just that age when everything has to be just so. So yeah that makes me feel good now that I think about it. lol
