I have no children and therefore cater to the nieces and nephews on my side of the family. There are eight all together. I give them a twin quilt when they graduate from high school - I generally ask for their input. It was always something of a tradition within my family, as they all asked at Christmas one year if I would do it. Then my husband asked me to do some for his family. I made a Drunkard's Path twin size quilt for our nephew (red and gray -his favorite colors - 3.5" finished squares) - I got nothing. Not a hug, not a thank-you, not - that must have taken a long time to make, not a single thing. I am still ripped to this day about it. I guess, he didn't ask for it, so I shouldn't be upset. But, I was raised that no matter what - you always said thank you for anything you received. I love that my nieces and nephews on my side of the family cherish and use them. I'm sure I'll make them wedding ones too, when that time comes.
