I hope that some year I'll be able to give quilts as gifts.
But my dad gave my mom one about 40 years ago and she put it in the closet - she did not want the kids to get it dirty and know it's the grandkids. I told her what good is it in the closet - USE IT!
She knows that I useally give homemade gifts and if they are not used - no more homemade gifts and she really likes the towels with the top I make her.
