31 years ago my daughter got a quilt from my mother, she worked long & hard on it (all hand done). Of all the blankets that my girl could pull around & roll around on it had to be THE ONE my mother made (it was mostly WHITE!). I had to replace the binding (make sure to have extra - you will need it again!), in middle school I needed to put on a new back (very worn!). My daughter still used it - when "Snoop" (quilt), looked so very worn out on the front (I had replaced the back at least 3 times), I talked my daughter into letting me make a blanket for "Snoop". I enclosed "Snoop" in something that I had my daughter help me pick out. My daughter still has "Snoop" under her bed and when she is sick she still pulls "Snoop" out and uses it. But she will not let her daughter use "Snoop" (lol).
