I made a large "I Spy" quilt for my 2 1/2 yr old great-nephew. I knew when I made it that it wasn't going to be a present that would get him excited when he opened it. BUT his parents had a jumping fit!!! They were both so excited and thanked me a million times. I think it bothered them that he showed so little reaction. I said to them, "Don't worry...some day it may be meaningful to him but for now, just teach him to play the game." I don't think we should expect "kids" to be excited over quilts. I look at it that I'm making something that someday may be special and remind them of me. It was a joy to make it for him.
