When you give it to your grandson, bring up the subject, tell her she mentioned it not being a real quilt and ask what she conciders a real quilt. -- It seems all of us that have responded feel that she sees a 'real' quilt as one that was a pieced pattern. This is your opportunity to give her a lesson on quilting and maybe even get her involved in a project of her own. Have a small photo collection to show her of examples of different types of quilts, such as functual, art, baby, ect. -- You could even make a kit to get her started, maybe even a panel. When she is finished or even half finished, I don't think she would refer to it as anything other than a 'real' quilt. I am sure she has forgotten the comment by now and no harm was meant. Assure her that there are more quilts projects in the future.
