thank all of you for your kind words :-) I have enjoyed working on it and now that it is getting close to done (size wise) I want to keep at it. As far as handing it down...I don't have any children of my own. :( I do have a stepson and daughter in law. I have been in the family since he was 18 and he will be 43 next month. However they don't have any children, she wasn't able to and they decided not to adopt. So our family is very very small. I am an only child (the good kind :D ) my husband is an only child (the spoiled kind :lol: ) My step son is an only child and so is his wife. They are both sweeties and I have made them quilts and they do appreciate them. I have a lifelong friend and she wants it...lol. They can duke it out when I am gone.
