Actually, I have 3 boys, all grown up now and I didn't think they were much interested in my quilts until last year when my youngest got married and we helped them with their honeymoon by giving them a flight to Belize (my hubby had saved up enough travel points!!) and while they loved their trip, they did mention a few months later that they were surprised that they didn't get a quilt from me! They evidently were really hoping for one.
(psst: Christmas is just around the corner, don't tell them that they are getting one from me! Shhhh.) My heart is happy that they want it!

That is very sad. I don't think some people truly understand what goes into a quilt. I keep them all. They can be passed down to my kids' kids(which better be a long time from now!!!)
