My husband's business partner and friend and his wife's baby turned 1 in May. I made one of the superfast jellyroll quilts for the baby. I got thanked for the blanket! Their 4 year old got some books and a huge bubble wand for his birthday in July!
On the other end of the rainbow, both my daughters got a crotched throw from me when they went off to college. They still get used like their favorite "blankies".
I hope this isn't too morbid, but my SIL is a Long-armer in CA. When my MIL (her mom) was diagnosed in the final stages of pancreatic cancer, she asked for a prayer quilt she could take with her. So Lin made one for her and Ruthie was comforted by it in her final days.
