I began seriously quilting after I retired and my grandchildren were all quite small. I decided I would make each one a quilt when he/she turned 14. They all knew this and each one really looked forward to their quilt. It was like a 'growing up' gift for each one and they are all much-loved and well-used. We have 9 grandchildren. Now they each look forward to their wedding quilt with enthusiasm, and have also gotten 'drag to the beach' quilts in between. I have just about saturated the family with quilts!
