Wonder if I will make anymore if another one comes along.....
I have two quilts that were made for me when I was born. Mom used them only for special occasions, and kept them in the closet otherwise. I understand there was another that I dragged around until it was worn out. (I remember the satin binding on that.) I treasure the two that Mom saved, because they are all that I have left to remind me of my grandmother and aunt, and the love they shared with us while they lived.
Why not make a quilt, not complicated but fun, specifically for your GS to take to bed, and tell your DD that is what it is for? You might also explain your feelings on the use of the quilts, and the hurt you feel that she will not allow her son to use what you have made for him. Sometimes gentle words can change situations.
