I made my niece a quilt for her 2nd birthday. She was not feeling so good for her party, and was a little cranky and weepy. When she opened the quilt (with matching doll quilt for her favorite baby) she beamed, scooped the quilts up, and ran to her room, where she politely asked to be put to bed for her nap time. Nothing my SIL could say would convince her to come back to her party -- she wanted to cuddle w/ her quiltie.
