I think you're right! My whole family has never gotten anything but handmade gifts from me & my Niece's still tell me how they have treasured all I gave them over the years & still have them. My girls got quilts for Christmas this year & they really seem to love them. One of my DGD's asked for one also & got one. She immediately wrapped herself up in it. :-) Now I'm struggling with making 4 baby quilts for DGG's to be as the parents are all wanting one. LOL!!
