Speaking of grandbabies dragging around blankies - here's a cute logo - for the Native American Quilt shop I mentioned a few days ago - their term for quilts is blankets too. http://www.calicocottage.ca/quilts/ she's in the upper left hand corner. They've changed the logo a bit in the past couple of years, she used to be just in red and black.
The ladies at the shop are great.
The quilters in the community are great, but very particular. I once saw a grandmother measure a gorgeous hand quilted hand appliquéed 'blanket' by holding the side of the end of her fore finger against it to to see if the quilting was the proper 7 st per in! She checked the appliqué stitching very carefully too. Whoever the quilter was passed muster, good thing for her!
