I agree to letting him pick his own color and fabric. And when I give it to him, I would tell him this is your very own speical quilt. You can take it everywhere and anywhere, and mostly you can take it to bed with you and it will tell you that Gandma is always with you and loves you and is keeping you safe.
They everytime I see him I would ask him if the quilt that you and him made together is keeping him safe and warm.
But that me, I'm nice that way.
Remember grandchild are Grandparents pay back LOL
